Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "on its last legs", we analyze the context: the AAGPBL had little money and insufficient talent. "Deteriorating" (option A) fits as it means declining, which matches the financial and talent issues. "Listless" refers to lacking energy, "strengthening" is the opposite, and "obscured" means hidden—none fit as well as "deteriorating".

Answer:

A. deteriorating
