Competition brewing in the gym...

In one of the gita exams. A really interesting question on Gymming was asked:

Alex and Harry have been going to the same gym for the past two years. They usually work out together and follow similar routines. During most exercises, Harry manages to do only two or three more repetitions than Alex. Yet, over time, Harry has developed a noticeably stronger and more muscular physique.

Alex becomes increasingly envious. He keeps thinking, "He only does a couple more reps than I do. How can his body look so much better than mine?" Instead of examining his own training, nutrition, sleep, and consistency, Alex becomes preoccupied with comparing himself to Harry.

In the light of this situation, which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?

Options:

A. Visible success is usually the result of luck rather than accumulated effort.

B. Harry's physique proves that some people are naturally destined to succeed, regardless of effort.

C. Small daily improvements compound over time into remarkable results. Never underestimate the power of doing a little more each day.

D. Harry's physique proves that genetics is the only factor that matters.

E. The best way for Alex to improve is to focus on outperforming Harry rather than understanding his own training and habits.
