A.
In evolutionary biology, "fitness" refers to reproductive success — essentially how many offspring an organism contributes to the next generation (more precisely, how many of its offspring survive and reproduce). Longevity only matters insofar as it increases reproductive success, and "how much an organism works out" is irrelevant.
