Explanation:

The article states Ibtihaj Muhammad got attention for wearing a hijab, which "not often showered on fencers", meaning this was unusual for U.S. women's fencing team athletes. Option B is not supported (no mention of most fencers sustaining injuries). Option C is not supported (no mention of Dagmara Wozniak's feelings about team diversity). Option D is incorrect; the photo and text show she wears a hijab with the fencer's helmet/mesh mask, not instead of it.

Answer:

A. Several other athletes on the U.S. women's fencing team have started wearing hijabs on the piste.
