Which term describes the ability to meet or cope with the demands of the environment?

• A. Fitness
• B. Endurance
• C. Health
• D. Ability

Answer: (A)

Fitness is the term that describes the ability to meet or cope with the demands of the environment. It reflects how well the body can perform physical tasks with energy, efficiency, and resilience, across a range of activities. Endurance relates to how long you can sustain activity, which is just one aspect of fitness. Health refers to overall well-being, not necessarily to performing physical tasks. Ability is too vague to capture the specific capacity to handle environmental demands.
