a. helps return blood to the heart, getting rid of lactic acid in
muscles.

b. helps increase stamina when exercising.

c. helps the body adjust back to a resting state.

d. helps reduce heart rate.

Explanation:

• Option A: Cooling down helps blood return to the heart and remove lactic acid from muscles, so this is a benefit.
• Option B: Cooling down after exercise does not increase stamina during exercise. Stamina is built through regular training and conditioning, not post - exercise cooling down.
• Option C: Cooling down assists the body in transitioning from the active state during exercise to a resting state, so this is a benefit.
• Option D: Cooling down helps to lower the elevated heart rate after exercise, so this is a benefit.

B. Helps increase stamina when exercising.
