I'm going with A. Anything above 8% for us ladies? No thank you, I'd rather not look like I'm auditioning for the next Resident Evil movie.

B is the way to go! Gotta keep those essential fats low, but not too low. Ain't no one got time for fainting spells during their workout.

D seems a bit high, doesn't it? I don't know about you, but I don't want to be mistaken for the Michelin Man when I walk down the street.

I think D) 13-18% for males; 20-35% for females makes more sense based on the physiological functions.

Option C seems the most reasonable. I mean, who wants to be a walking skeleton? I'll take a nice, healthy body fat percentage over looking like a supermodel any day.

I prefer to focus on being strong and healthy rather than trying to achieve an unrealistic body fat percentage.

I think option C is the best choice as well. It's all about being healthy, not super skinny.
