Explanation
The clue ridiculed, as well as the idea of eating snacks while working out, requires that the blank mean something like foolish. None of pithy, indolent, precarious, or hackneyed means foolish, so eliminate choices (B), (C), (D), and (E). Fatuous means foolish, so select choice (A).
Hence option A is correct!
