B Correct answer
Explanation

Lissom means lithe, flexible and graceful in movement or body. P.T. Usha was a famous athlete known for her graceful running - 'flexible' captures this physical agility. 'Hardened' means toughened, 'happy' refers to emotion, and 'fast-running' is too literal - none capture the graceful flexibility.
