Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
An elliptical trainer is a low-impact option that provides a full body workout and a cardiovascular challenge without the impact on the knees that can come with running or using a treadmill. This makes it the best choice for someone with knee problems who wants to build their cardiorespiratory fitness.
