Answer:

A It lowers the cholesterol levels in your blood, which causes your bones to become strong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Resistance (strength) training prevents osteoporosis because it helps build strong bones which minimises the risk of fracture. This type of training uses free weights, stretchy bands, or your own body weight to build muscle and strengthen bones
