Explanation:

Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions over time. Long - distance running requires the muscles (such as leg muscles) to contract repeatedly for an extended period. High jumping (A) is more about power and explosive strength. Sprinting (C) is also more focused on speed and short - burst power. Throwing a fast ball (D) is an explosive, short - duration activity. Long - distance running (B) places a sustained demand on the muscles, which helps to improve their endurance.

Answer:

B. long distance running
