If you stop exercising for a period of time, the primary effect is that **muscle size decreases**. This phenomenon is known as muscle atrophy, which occurs when muscles are not used regularly. Therefore, the correct response from your options would be "Muscle size decreases."
The notion that "muscle turns to fat" is a myth; muscle and fat are different tissues and one does not convert into the other. Additionally, muscle strength typically decreases with disuse, not increases, so that option is also incorrect. Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a condition related to exercise stress rather than the effects of stopping exercise.
