d. remaining well - hydrated while exercising is best.
please select the best answer from the choices provided.

Explanation:

• Option A: Exercising between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. in hot weather is not best as it is the hottest time of the day, increasing the risk of heat - related illnesses.
• Option B: Exercising at 100% of maximum heart rate is not sustainable and can be dangerous for most people, as it may lead to overexertion and heart - related issues.
• Option C: Exercising one hour before eating is not ideal. Digestion requires blood flow, and exercising too close to a meal can cause discomfort (e.g., cramps).
• Option D: Remaining well - hydrated while exercising is crucial. Sweating during exercise causes fluid loss, and proper hydration helps maintain body functions, including temperature regulation and cardiovascular function.

Answer:

D. Remaining well - hydrated while exercising is best.
