Answer 1

Answer:

D) Over the past ten years more than two dozen athletes have died from the medical condition known as heatstroke.

Explanation:

A "supporting evidence" is something that backs up a claim to be true. It provides support by showing an important reason about the argument.

Among the choices above, choice D supports the evidence that "heatstroke can be very dangerous to younger athletes." The statement supports the claim with an evidence that many athletes (two dozen) have actually died because of heatstroke. Such statement compels the readers that the claim is true or valid.

So, this explains the answer.
