please select the best answer from the choices provided.
○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Pedometers typically do not measure calories burned directly; devices like fitness trackers with specific sensors do that, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Pedometers are not typically MP3 players. Their main function is related to step counting, not music playback, so B is incorrect.
• Option C: A pedometer's primary function is to count the number of steps a person takes. By tracking steps, people can monitor their activity levels and work towards fitness goals (e.g., a daily step target), so this is correct.
• Option D: Pedometers do not measure the number of lifts (like weightlifting reps); they focus on steps from walking or running, so D is incorrect.

Answer:

C. They help people reach their goals by counting the number of steps taken.
