Explanation:

The step - test for assessing cardiorespiratory fitness typically involves using a 12 - inch step (D), taking the pulse (A) before, during, and after the test, and comparing results to a reference chart (C). The test is usually performed for a set period, but it is not 1 hour. A 1 - hour duration is too long for a standard step - test.

Answer:

B. performing the test for 1 hour
