Actually it's C, comparison. If you read it, the key words are, "better than". Thus making a comparison.
expected outcome from a nursing point of view is reducing joint pain and maintaining joint mobility...so, yeah--D
A is just silly
B isn't a diagnosis or etiology
C--what's being compared? swimming to weight training...silly
D is the likely answer
