Walking daily is a safe and appropriate exercise option for a pregnant woman in her second trimester who is experiencing fatigue. It can help to combat fatigue and provide a gentle form of physical activity without risk of harm to the fetus. It is important to encourage safe exercise during pregnancy as it can improve overall health outcomes for both the mother and the baby. Option B and C are not appropriate responses as they do not encourage safe or appropriate exercise during pregnancy. Option D is not appropriate as running is not recommended during pregnancy, as it may increase the risk of injury or harm to the fetus.
