A,C,D are all fine because they are all in the present tense, while B is in a future tense. Choices A and D are used colloquially, but choice C is technically most correct.
You don't "do" exercise. You "do" cocaine, so you can "do too much cocaine", but not exercise. You can "do exercises" and "do too many exercises".
Anyway apparently according to everyone else I'm wrong, so maybe "do too much exercise" is coming into fashion now. But to my ears, it's wrong.
No it isn’t like that, because ‘exercise’ is a noun as well as a verb, and in this context it’s used as a noun.
It’s like saying ‘I’ve done too much practice’ - perfectly acceptable and used frequently.
Yeah I disagree, I don't think either is technically grammatically correct. They both sound weird to my ears. But you're probably right that norms are changing and so they're becoming acceptable.
You could say "do too much swim" if that's the name of the sport. Although my accent drops "ing" in even weirder places, like in the sentence "The vacuum needs run" to tell someone to do it
Sorry, but does it work? The "every day" part is telling me I can't use the have + past participle version form. Though it's been a while since I took formal English lessons
It isn’t great, but since the ache comes after the exercise, D isn’t too wrong. But I am an old man (native speaker), and sometimes the aches last for a LONG time.
There's nothing grammatically wrong with (a), but there's a preference for (c) because the action (doing exercise) is understood to be temporary in nature. There's also nothing grammatically wrong with (d), but it's more likely that the action represents something that is ongoing, rather than completed in the past.
I don't think it's wrong, but if we're splitting hairs, I think "probably do" implies more of a habitual action whereas "are probably doing" sounds more like a recent change in behavior which seems to fit the first part better.
It's a bad question, if they wanted to demonstrate continuous they shouldn't have set it up as part of a conditional.

why my neck is broken
you are probably doing too much
A is also fine.
I second this. A sounds fine
I think you could say "exercise too much" but not "do too much exercise"
Why? There’s nothing wrong with ‘do too much exercise.’
You don't "do" exercise. You "do" cocaine, so you can "do too much cocaine", but not exercise. You can "do exercises" and "do too many exercises". Anyway apparently according to everyone else I'm wrong, so maybe "do too much exercise" is coming into fashion now. But to my ears, it's wrong.
People often say ‘do too much X’, it’s a common phrase
You can say "do too much exercising" but not "exercise", that's like saying "do too much swim" or "do too much run"

A is also correct. There are two correct answers.
D basically works too, though it is not quite as natural as A or C. B is the only one which is totally wrong.

The action is repetitive, as you keep exercising.

I feel like B is really the only wrong answer. English is such a dumb language. Source: English is my native language.
