The original sentence starts with "But," which is often considered informal or unnecessary in formal writing. The proposed edits aim to correct the use of the conjunction at the beginning of the sentence.
The best choice that properly addresses this issue is:
A. No one can dispute the impact of Michael Jordan on sports and popular culture.
This option removes the conjunction altogether, making the sentence more formal and direct.
