Explanation:

To determine the exercise intensity for maximum health benefits with limited time (75 minutes/week), we refer to exercise science principles. Vigorous - intensity exercise provides greater health benefits per minute of activity compared to moderate or low - intensity. Since Arsh has a limited time, engaging in vigorous - intensity exercise will allow him to get the most health benefits in that 75 - minute window. Moderate intensity is less effective per minute, low intensity even more so, and the idea that any intensity is the same is incorrect as different intensities have different benefit - to - time ratios.

Answer:

A. Vigorous
