The pendulum-like swing of the legs is determined by the distribution of mass along the leg. If more mass is concentrated in the upper part of the leg, it will swing with greater frequency, leading to a longer stride. Therefore, choice A is the best answer. The other choices may result in different stride lengths or frequencies, but they do not specifically address the concentration of mass in the legs.
