Skill - related fitness components include power, speed, agility, etc. Health - related components include muscular endurance, flexibility (in a health - focused context), and cardiovascular fitness (reaching target heart rate). Option A talks about power and speed (skill - related), while B (muscular endurance), C (flexibility as a health - related component here), and D (target heart rate - cardiovascular/health - related) are about health - related fitness. Since Maria focuses on skill - related, she is most likely to make the statement in A.

A. When I sprint, I explode with power and speed.
