D Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option. S1 introduces the topic (health and fitness as a constant concern to population). S1 connects directly to Q (the attitude of the population in general ‘if u are unwell, it does not mean you rush to the doctor’). P follows the reason why people do not immediately go to the doctor (information is available on the web). S connects to this (the conjunction ‘but’ gives the alternative statement; ‘one should still not wait to go to the doctor’). R follows logically (People are aware of benefits of keeping in shape); this connects directly to S2 (the ways of keeping in shape).
