Although many athletes rely on electrolyte-enriched sports drinks, which can provide almost all of the medically recommended electrolyte requirement, to regulate their hydration level while training, a well-balanced diet, including a variety of foods, is a better source of those electrolytes than are such electrolyte-enriched sports drinks.
Which of the following, if true, would most strongly support the position above?
A. Sports drinks often must be enriched with electrolytes because the natural electrolytes found within the drinks’ ingredients are removed when they are processed.
B. Athletes who regularly drink electrolyte-fortified sports drinks sometimes neglect to eat the foods in which the electrolytes naturally occur.
C. In many foods, the natural combination of electrolytes with other minerals makes those electrolytes more usable by the body than are the electrolytes added in sports drinks.
D. Unprocessed alternatives to sports drinks are naturally high in several of the electrolytes that are usually added to electrolyte-enhanced sports drinks.
E. Sports drinks containing electrolyte supplements are no harder for the body to process than similar sports drinks without added electrolytes.

but a well balanced die that includes variety of food is better source of electrolytes than those sports drink.
A this is saying that natural electrolytes are removed but they are enriched with electrolytes. but even if thats the case and if they are medically approved then there is no harm. so this doesnt necessarily give me reason to move on from drink and switch to food instead.
B if thats the case then it make more sense to have sports drinks to cover it. so this rather weaken the stand. reject.
C that means food has more value and provide better benefit with regards to electrolytes then it justifies authors claim to use food instead of sport drink. so this is clear winner here.
D not concerned with unprocessed alternatives here. and even if they are high and there is electrolytes in drink then it make more sense to go wieth drink. so not strengthening authors position. reject.
E doing a wrong comparison. toss it out.

In this question we have to choose the option which supports well balanced diet (ie., variety of food) provides better source of electrolytes than electrolyte enriched sports drinks.
Only C admits that the electrolytes found in food, naturally combines with minerals present in the food and makes it better usable for the body than electrolyte present in sports drink.
Therefore this is the correct answer.
