Explanation:

Physical fitness refers to the ability to perform physical activities well without fatigue. In other words, being physically fit refers to a state of general wellbeing. Physical fitness can either be health-related or skill-related. The skill-related components are six in number viz: agility, power, balance, coordination, speed and reaction time.

However, only four of these skill-related parts of physical fitness are mentioned in the options of this question. They are:

- Speed: This refers to the ability to run a distance in a short time frame.

- Agility: This is the ability to move easily and quickly in different directions

- Balance: The ability to maintain an upright body position during training or physical activity

- Coordination: The ability to make physical senses of one's body (eye) cooperate with the limbs (hands and feets) during a physical activity.

Note that, Aerobic Endurance and Muscular strength are health-related components of fitness
