Explanation:

Sarcopenia is the loss of muscle mass, strength, and function with aging. To prevent its progression, resistance training (like weight training) helps stimulate muscle growth and maintain strength. Option A would worsen muscle loss. Option C reduces a beneficial activity. Option D’s focus on supplements/diet alone isn’t the primary intervention for muscle maintenance compared to resistance exercise. Weight training (Option B) directly targets muscle preservation.

Answer:

B. participate in more activities like weight training
