Xiǎo Jūn yǐqián hěn pàng, xiànzài hěn shòu.
小军以前很胖,现在很瘦。
Xiao Jun used to be really fat, and now he is very thin.
The answer B is wrong, because “高 (gāo) tall” is used to described “个子 (gèzi)” which means height/stature, not “力气 (lìqì) strength.” So the correct form is:
Xiǎo Míng gèzi ǎi, dànshì lìqì dà.
小明个子矮,但是力气大。
Xiao Ming is short, but he has a lot of strength.
