Explanation:

Aerobic exercise increases blood - flow to muscles to deliver oxygen and nutrients. It also stimulates the growth of mitochondria in muscle cells as mitochondria are responsible for aerobic respiration and energy production. A decrease in motor neuron stimulation would not cause these changes, and rigor mortis is a post - mortem condition.

Answer:

C. an increase in aerobic exercise
