caitlin hudac, dennis molfese, and cathryn cortesa are psychologists. for a study on concussions they conducted at the university of nebraska - lincoln, the researchers worked with 36 college football players. seventeen of the players had been diagnosed with at least one concussion

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the meaning of "diagnosed" in the context. "Diagnosed" in a medical/study context means to identify a condition. Option B (cured) is incorrect as diagnosis isn't the same as cure. Option C (prevented) is wrong because diagnosis is about identifying, not preventing. Option D (combined) doesn't relate to diagnosis. So the correct option is A.

Answer:

A. identified
