Question

which statement best describes the joy and benefits of playing an individual sport? a. playing individual sports is more demanding, so the participant can eat more. b. individual sports are better because there are no teammates to have to consider. c. playing individual sports helps a person advance mental and physical skills and improves overall health and fitness. d. a person who participates in an individual sport can be weak in some aspects of the sport because there is no accountability to team members.

Explanation:

This option comprehensively covers both the benefits (improved health/fitness) and positive aspects related to skill development (mental and physical) that align with the core joys and advantages of individual sports. The other options focus on narrow or negative points: A links the sport to overeating, B emphasizes avoiding teammates rather than positive benefits, and D highlights lack of accountability as a "benefit" which is not a positive, constructive advantage of individual sports.

Answer:

C. Playing individual sports helps a person advance mental and physical skills and improves overall health and fitness.
