D is correct: Court-based intervals match tennis movement patterns for best results.

Other Options:

A is incorrect: Develops strength not endurance; lacks tennis movements.
B is incorrect: Forward-only motion; lacks tennis multi-directional patterns.
C is incorrect: Different muscles/movements than tennis; limited relevance.
