Question

Dear Principal Smithons,

Exercise is good for a person's body. When I get home, I immediately start working on my mounds of homework. I would rather be outside playing basketball with my friends. However, I have to make homework a priority. I often don't finish my assignments until nightfall. By then, it's too late to go outside. I know that I don't get nearly enough exercise with just having P.E. three days a week.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), childhood obesity rates have tripled in adolescents aged 12–19 in the past 30 years. In California alone, 38% of students are overweight. Youth who are obese are more likely to have heart-related health risks and to develop diabetes. According to the CDC, schools are important in creating safe and supportive environments with rules and expectations that foster healthy behaviors. Our school can make a positive impact on the health of students by having P.E. classes every weekday so that students have the opportunity to improve their health.
If most of the students are like me, they rarely have time to get outside after school to exercise. Please consider adding two more days of P.E. classes to our class schedules.

Sincerely,

Mack McQueen
8th grade student

Step-by-step explanation:

The other options do not contain a thesis. Without a thesis, the principal has no idea what you'd even like to have happen.
