The question being tested is whether or not the human body will produce more red blood cells at higher altitudes.
The hypothesis an athlete would create from this question is that the body will produce more red blood cells at a higher altitude to ensure the pumping of oxygen throughout the body.
C - Excitement
This is because if you expect to succeed, you're expecting something fun and the adrenaline is pumping because you're excited to win and show those around you what you're made of.
A is incorrect as if you're expecting to succeed, you're confident in yourself and you're abilities.
B is incorrect as happiness is more of an after feeling that you get, while excitement is more of an in the moment feeling.
D is incorrect as this is similar to uncertainty; if you're not confident and you expect failure, you'd be hesitant on doing the activity.
Hope this helps!
