The CDC recommends that adults engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity, spread throughout the week. This averages out to about 30 minutes of moderate activity on most days. For children and adolescents, the recommendation is at least 60 minutes of physical activity daily.

Thus, for adults, the closest option from your list would be 30 minutes.
