1. squats with weights

Rowing. Intervals. Total body workout & low impact.

Plank
Squat clean to press
Deadlift
Rows
Bulgarian squats

If you can only do 15 mins every day, I’d split up your muscle groups and do lower vs upper or push vs pull so you’re not trying to hit full body in only 15 minutes each time.

Replace biceps curls with pullups and this is the best answer

Well now wait, you asked for "one exercise" and then you ask for plural exercises? So which is it??

As far as just one exercise, then there is really only one answer anyone can give, Sprints. 40yard sprints over and over with a little rest between them.

Lunges - so many varieties. You can do split lunge jumps for cardio, lunges for strength, walking lunges for mobility, weighted lunges with shoulder press or curls for upper body.

I hate lunges lol but they are so effective

This, but I would substitute commandos for planks just to get more arms/shoulders in and maybe add Russian twist.
