A healthy, active lifestyle has a postive effect on physical and mental wellbeing. People who exercise regularly and have an active social life with a network of friends tend to cope better with the stresses of daily life. There are many and varied opportunities for anyone who is interested to take part in all kinds of physical activity. Most participants are amateurs who pay to take part; although in school most sport is free. Some professionals are paid to take part, to coach or to teach others.

- A.
  
  For enjoyment
- B.
  
  For a physical challenge
- C.
  
  Development of friendships
- D.
  
  Help individual feel good
Correct Answer(s)
B. For a physical challenge
C. Development of friendships

Explanation
Taking part in physical activity has numerous benefits, including enjoyment, development of friendships, and helping individuals feel good. However, a physical challenge is not considered a benefit of physical activity. While physical challenges can be a part of physical activity, they are not the primary reason for engaging in it. The main benefits of physical activity are related to mental and physical well-being, such as enjoyment, social connections, and improved mood. Therefore, "For a physical challenge" and "Development of friendships" are the two options that do not represent benefits of physical activity.
