Explanation:

• Option A: Eating more is not a main benefit of individual sports, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: The lack of teammates is not a positive "better" reason in terms of benefits, so B is incorrect.
• Option C: Individual sports do help in advancing mental (e.g., focus, strategy) and physical (e.g., strength, endurance) skills and improving health/fitness, which describes the joy and benefits well.
• Option D: This focuses on a negative aspect, not benefits, so D is incorrect.
