Answer:
A. More people are blaming junk food companies for our nation's weight proplems. To improve their reputations, companies that produce soft drinks and other junk food are sponsoring children's sport and other activities
Explanation:
First, we need to observe and acknowledge two parts in this text - cause and effect - and the relation between them.
So, the first part is cause; it states that people are starting to blame junk food companies for weight problems.
The second part is the effect of this cause; these companies are starting to sponsor children's sports activities.
There is also this linking sentence that explains why the companies do that: "Junk food companies are scrambling to save their reputations".
Now we can fully grasp this cause-effect relation and the reason for it.
Regarding this, answer C and D don't summarize this excerpt's idea, while answer B doesn't show cause-effect relation; it just states two things, without the connection.
