  2. Enhanced ability of muscles to use oxygen
  3. Expanded ability to use fatty acids as an energy source
  4. Improved sleep
Explanation
Answer - A - A decrease in your metabolic rate is not one of the benefits of cardiorespiratory exercise. A decrease in your metabolic rate is not a benefit in general. Cardiorespiratory exercise benefits you by increasing your metabolic rate. Even when using a low training intensity, an individual will experience many health improvements, including an enhanced ability of muscles to use oxygen, expanded ability to use fatty acids as an energy source, and improved sleep, among others.
