Show Worked Solution
  • B is correct: Higher resistance builds strength while longer time develops aerobic capacity.

Other Options:

  • A is incorrect: More time doesn’t increase training intensity effectively.
  • C is incorrect: Less time reduces aerobic development opportunities.
  • D is incorrect: Lower resistance and time reduces both strength and aerobic benefits.
