A. Sharing information about a nutrition and exercise program planned for the future
Explanation:
The contemplative stage of the model of behaviour stage is also known as the "getting ready" stage where a person has an intention to change within the next 6 months. In this stage, because the individual is more aware of the pros and cons of changing, sharing information with them planned for the future allows them to weigh their options equally over time - individuals in this stage are usually not ready for programmes that expect them to act immediately
