Explanation:

Osteoporosis is a condition with reduced bone density. Resistance training (like weight - bearing exercises) stimulates bone formation. The option "It increases bone mass, making your bones stronger and denser" directly relates to how resistance training combats osteoporosis by enhancing bone mass and density. The first option's link between blood pressure and bone density is incorrect. The second option's mechanism about cholesterol and bone strength is not related to resistance training for osteoporosis. The third option's idea of feeling hungry to get more calcium is not the main mechanism of resistance training for preventing osteoporosis.

Answer:

The correct option is: It increases bone mass, making your bones stronger and denser
