Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Studies have found that sudden cardiac arrest is more likely to occur during exercise or physical activity, including jogging. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect as sudden cardiac arrest is more likely to occur during physical activity. Option C is incorrect because sudden cardiac arrest is more likely during physical activity. Option D is also incorrect because tennis is a form of physical activity like jogging, so sudden cardiac arrest is equally likely to occur during both.
