Answer:

The correct answer is option B, that is, progressive overloading.

Step-by-step explanation:

Increasing the stress placed upon the body slowly and gradually at the time of exercising is termed as progressive overloading. The main objective of the approach is to increase the size of the muscles, endurance, and strength. In basic terms, it is done to get stronger and bigger. It is done by adding more weight and volume step by step so that the muscles had to work harder in order to show more improvement.
