Answer 2

The correct answer is C. The most popular contact sport among boys is football, but some boys also like playing hockey

Explanation:

In speeches and texts, a claim is a statement that shows the position someone has towards some issue, in this case, the claim is "Girls should be given the same opportunity to play contact sports as their male counterparts", which means the author of this claim supports the idea girls have the opportunity to play contact sports. Additionally, for this claim or any claim to be valid, it is necessary relevant evidence that proves and explains the claim, also, this claim should directly address and support the claim. Considering this, the statement that is not relevant or least relevant to this claim is "The most popular contact sport among boys is football, but some boys also like playing hockey", because the information about the sports boys prefers does not support the main claim as it does not prove why girls should play contact sports, which makes this evidence ineffective and the least relevant.
