According to the CDC, adolescents should aim for at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day. Option B is the only one that meets this recommendation as the adolescent is swimming for 60 minutes five times per week and jogging for 60 minutes the other 2 days per week. All other options fall short in terms of either the duration or intensity of physical activity.
