As physical activity levels increase, what would be the anticipated change in risk of functional mobility limitations?

A. There is a dramatic decrease in functional mobility limitation risk with even a minor increase in physical activity from the lowest level of activity (level 1-sedentary) to modest levels of activity (level 2). B. The decrease in functional mobility limitation risk is only seen with the adoption of modest (level 2 or higher) levels of physical activity. C. The decrease in functional mobility limitation risk is only seen with the adoption of higher levels (levels 3 and 4) of physical activity. D. Decreases in functional mobility limitation risk only occurs when previously sedentary individuals (level 1) reach the highest levels of physical activity (level 5).
