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

Explanation:

• Option A: Regular physical activity strengthens the immune system, improves cardiovascular function, and helps maintain a healthy weight, all of which reduce the risk of diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers.
• Option B: Physical activity does not allow an individual to function on less sleep. Adequate sleep is still crucial for overall health, and physical activity can actually improve sleep quality rather than reduce the need for it.
• Option C: A balanced diet is essential for providing the body with nutrients. Physical activity increases calorie expenditure but does not reduce the need for a balanced diet.
• Option D: While physical activity reduces the risk of diseases, it does not completely prevent an individual from developing certain diseases. There are other factors (genetic, environmental, etc.) that can contribute to disease development.

Answer:

A. Regular participation in physical activity reduces the risk of developing various diseases.
