B is correct: High-intensity intervals, 85-95% MHR, with adequate recovery for anaerobic capacity.

Other Options:

A is incorrect: Moderate intensity, continuous → aerobic training.
C is incorrect: Low frequency, low intensity for anaerobic development.
D is incorrect: Endurance training parameters, not sprint-focused.
