Explanation:

The article states that athletes often rely on luck, and some have superstitions (like wearing the same clothes after a win to continue a streak). Option A aligns with this as it says some athletes think superstitions help them win. Option B is wrong because the text doesn't say only unsuccessful athletes have superstitions. Option C has no support (no info on performance comparison). Option D is wrong as the text gives examples of athletes with superstitions, not that football players don't have any.

Answer:

A. Some athletes think superstitions will help them win.
