Answer: Option B
:
B
Option (b)
All the options provided seem to follow from the last line of the passage. However, since the statement indicates what is professed, the contradiction would be in the intentions behind that – best expressed in option (b). In addition, option (b) is the only sentence that corresponds to the singular “every active player” – all the other sentences use plurals.
