The first statement states that stress cannot be avoided in sports. Statement C follows the first statement by elaborating on how stress is beneficial to the human body. The last sentence summarizes the paragraph by saying what the absence of stress would lead to. Thus only statement C forms a coherent paragraph with the two given statements.
