Answer 1

The best answer is:

B. Younger people tend to be more flexible.

Younger individuals generally have greater flexibility due to factors such as a more elastic muscle composition, bone structure, and less accumulated wear and tear over the years. Flexibility tends to decrease with age due to factors like decreased activity levels, changes in muscle mass, and stiffness in joints and connective tissues.
