Option A provides a positive and practical response that acknowledges the patient's desire to improve his health and function. It also suggests that there are interventions, such as exercise and strengthening programs, that could help him achieve his goals. Option B is negative and dismissive, and may discourage the patient from pursuing any physical activity. Option C is incorrect as there are interventions available to improve strength, such as physical therapy. Option D is inappropriate and insensitive, and does not address the patient's concerns about improving his strength and endurance.
