Thank you Brady I got a 100%. Ohh this might be a little personal about you but is Brady a Boys or a Girls name?

P.S. I don't mind you asking.
To determine the correct answer, let's break down the options:
A. People who regularly exercise are happy people and are fun to be around.
While regular exercise can contribute to overall happiness and well-being, it doesn't directly reduce the effects of mental stress.
B. Regular exercise gives you better mental discipline, so you're better able to ignore stress.
While regular exercise may improve mental discipline and resilience, it is not the main way it reduces the effects of mental stress.
C. Regular exercise gets you away from the home or office and away from stress.
This option suggests that exercise helps by providing a break from stressful environments. While being in a different environment or taking a break can be beneficial for reducing stress, it is not the primary mechanism of how exercise reduces the effects of mental stress.
D. Regular exercise has been shown to reduce the physical effects of stress.
This option states that regular exercise is proven to reduce the physical effects of stress, which is an accurate statement. Exercise can help reduce cortisol levels (a stress hormone) and release endorphins (feel-good chemicals in the brain), which in turn can alleviate the symptoms and negative effects of mental stress.
Based on the explanations above, the correct answer is indeed option D. Regular exercise has been shown to reduce the physical effects of stress.
