please select the best answer from the choices provided.

a
b
c
d

Explanation:

• Option A: Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that can be managed but not cured by aerobic exercise, so A is false.
• Option B: Aerobic exercise is known to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes (by improving insulin sensitivity, etc.), not increase it, so B is false.
• Option C: Aerobic exercise helps the body use glucose more effectively, which aids in better blood sugar management for those with type 2 diabetes, so this is true.
• Option D: Aerobic exercise typically increases heart rate (during the exercise) as it is a form of cardio, and the mechanism for blood sugar control is related to glucose utilization, not lowering heart rate, so D is false.

Answer:

C. Aerobic exercise can help people better manage their blood sugar levels.
