Solution

The correct option is A
Stretching improves blood circulation before running.

Stretching before exercise helps in increasing blood flow before a strenuous exercise such as running or jogging. This also raises the temperature around muscles improving the metabolic rate. This is essential to prevent injury.

In addition, stretching also loosens joints and muscles which helps reduce injury.
