Explanation:

The correct option uses parallel structure: all items in the list ("scoring the winning goal, making the highest grade, or eating the most at the county fair") are gerund phrases, which creates grammatical consistency. The other options mix gerund phrases with clause structures ("who can eat the most"), breaking parallelism and creating awkward, ungrammatical sentences.

Answer:

B. We always compete, whether it's scoring the winning goal, making the highest grade, or eating the most at the county fair.
