Explanation:

To determine the correct revision, we analyze punctuation and sentence structure. The original underlined part has a period after "working out" which creates a fragment. Option A uses a comma to connect the phrase "From cooking to working out" (a prepositional phrase acting as an adverbial) to the main clause "having a pastime can improve your health", which is grammatically correct. Option B uses a semicolon incorrectly as the first part is not an independent clause. Option C adds an unnecessary "and" which disrupts the structure. Option D uses "nonetheless" which introduces an illogical contrast.
