Answer

Brief Explanations:

The conflict is about racism. Neto wants to take a stand (not play against disrespectful fans) but also has team - related considerations. The complication is when there is an internal struggle within the group. Neto having a hard time convincing the team (as one player initially objects) adds another layer to the conflict. The other options either don't add a new layer (Neto not wanting to play for disrespectful fans is part of the main conflict), is too absolute (Neto believing no solution) or is about a different aspect (friendship with Jesse which is not central to the racism - based conflict).

Answer:

Neto has a difficult time convincing the team of Jesse’s claims.
