d. precontemplation, planning, contemplation, action, maintenance

Explanation:

1. The goal of the "Stairway to Lifetime Fitness" is to progress to lifelong fitness, health, and wellness. Self - assessment, self - management, and self - planning are steps along the way, but the overarching goal is the latter.
2. Regular physical activity, sound nutrition, and stress management are controllable aspects that impact health, so they are controllable health factors. Personal factors are broader and not specific enough. Wellness factors is a more general term. Priority healthy lifestyles is not the standard term for these elements.
3. The text clearly refers to the "Stairway to Lifetime Fitness" as the series of steps for lifetime fitness.
4. The correct sequence of stages of change for a healthy lifestyle is precontemplation (not aware or ready to change), contemplation (thinking about change), planning (preparing to change), action (making the change), and maintenance (keeping the change).

Answer:

1. C. lifelong fitness, health, and wellness
2. D. controllable health factors
3. C. Stairway to Lifetime Fitness
4. B. precontemplation, contemplation, planning, action, maintenance
