Which one of the following words is similar in meaning to the phrase 'going down' as used in the passage?
Answer: C
The word is declining.
The phrase 'going down' is paraphrased by the passage's own word: 'fitness levels in school children are constantly declining'. Declining means going down, getting lower over time, and it is the word the passage uses for that idea.
'Dropping' is close in meaning and is the nearest rival; 'declining' is the keyed answer because it is the passage's wording. 'Averaging' (taking a mean) is unrelated and 'rising' is the opposite.
