Explanation:

The essay outline's thesis is about the problems of lack of exercise (causing heart disease, obesity, etc.). The topic sentence of Body Paragraph 1 should relate to the first reason in the thesis. The third option ("First of all, lack of exercise is a problem because it can cause heart disease") directly addresses the first issue in the thesis, while the other options are about massage or general exercise benefits (not lack of exercise's problems).

Answer:

Third Option: First of all, lack of exercise is a problem because it can cause heart disease.
