question 2 of 5
before participating in any water - based sport, what one basic skill should a person have?

a. no fear of water.

b. natural buoyancy.

c. basic swimming capability.

d. ability to hold breath for 30 seconds.

Explanation:

To determine the basic skill for water - based sports, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Not fearing water is a psychological aspect, but it's not a skill that directly helps in water - based sports safety or participation.
• Option B: Natural buoyancy is not a common or reliable "skill" people can rely on; most people don't have sufficient natural buoyancy to stay safe in water - based sports.
• Option C: Basic swimming capability is essential. It allows a person to move in water, stay afloat, and respond to emergencies during water - based sports.
• Option D: The ability to hold breath for 30 seconds is not a fundamental skill for participating in water - based sports; many water - based sports don't require long breath - holding, and it's not a safety - critical basic skill like swimming.

Answer:

C. Basic swimming capability.
