Option D is the best choice because it is specific and realistic. It outlines a clear and SMART goal (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) for Amanda to work toward over an adequate timeframe. It includes a weight loss goal, a healthy habit (lowering cholesterol), and an exercise routine, which is a well-rounded approach to improving overall health and well-being. Options A and C are also acceptable choices as they are specific and realistic, but option D is the best because it includes a time frame and a clear plan of action. Option B is not a good choice as it is unrealistic and does not promote healthy habits.
