Explanation:

Question 1

A Sports Medicine Physician is responsible for diagnosing and treating sports - related injuries, advising on how to prevent injuries and help with rehabilitation, and also conducting physical exams before athletes participate in sports. So all the listed roles are part of their primary role.

To become a Physical Therapist, the required degree is a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. A Master’s degree in physical therapy is no longer the standard, a Bachelor’s degree in kinesiology is a prerequisite for further study but not the final required degree for the career, and a certification in sports medicine is not the main degree for becoming a physical therapist.

An Occupational Therapist's primary responsibility is to assess the functional abilities of clients to help them engage in daily activities. Conducting fitness assessments is more related to fitness professionals, developing meal plans is for dietitians, and managing sports events is for event managers.

Answer:

D. All of the above
