C is correct: Ethical workplace fitness testing should be voluntary and focus on supporting employee wellness rather than being used for punishment or discrimination, respecting autonomy while still promoting health.

Other Options:

A is incorrect: Mandatory testing may create resistance and resentment, and improvement depends on program quality and follow-up interventions.
B is incorrect: Holistic fitness testing can provide broader health insights beyond specific job tasks.
D is incorrect: Reducing insurance costs may be a benefit but should not be the primary purpose, which should be employee wellbeing.
