1 answer
All of the provided options could be used as evidence to support the claim that playing a team sport is beneficial for students. However, the best option would be a study explaining that team sports teach students social skills. This would directly support the claim by showing a specific benefit that students gain from participating in team sports. The other options, such as statistics on student participation, the number of professional athletes, and data on physical effects, can also be used as evidence, but they may not directly support the claim as specifically as the study on social skills.
