Explanation:

Sprinters need to generate a large amount of force in a short - single event to achieve high speeds, which requires more muscular strength. Distance runners focus on endurance, having muscles that can contract repeatedly over a long time. So Laura, the sprinter, is more likely to have more muscular strength as her muscles can produce more force for a single event.

Answer:

C. Laura because her muscles can produce more force for a single period of time.
