Athletic director: “Members of our sports team included, for the fall season, 80 football player and 40 cross-country runners; for the winter season, 20 wrestlers and 40 swimmers; for the spring season, 50 track-team members and 20 lacrosse players. Each tea athlete participates in his or her sports five days a week for the whole three-month season, and no athlete is on two teams during any one season. Therefore, adding these figures, we find our team sports program serves 250 different individual athletes.”
In drawing the conclusion, the athletic director fails to consider the relevant possibility that
A. athletes can be on more than one team in a single season
B. athletes can be on teams in more than one season
C. some of the team sports require a larger number of athletes on the team than do others
D. more athletes participate in team sports during one season than during another
E. an athlete might not participate in every one of the practice sessions and athletic contests in his or her sport

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The athletic director has clearly added up the 120 athletes active in the fall, the 60 athletes active in the winter, and the 70 athletes active in the spring. But while we know that the total of athletes for each season is composed of different individuals, there is nothing in the rules cited that would prevent athletes from being active in two or in all three seasons. So, the sum of 250 may include athletes that have been counted twice or three times. This is the possibility that has not been considered. Thus, B is the correct answer.
A is incorrect. The athletic director has specifically ruled this out as a possibility. C is not the correct answer choice. This possibility is reflected adequately in the different numbers of athletes active in each sport. No oversight seems likely here. D is incorrect. Not only does the athletic director not overlook this, he or she has the figures to prove it. The last answer choice is also incorrect. The athletic director could say that the program has served an athlete even if that athlete has not participated to the fullest extent possible.
