For students, the time spent playing sports after regular classes is time not spent studying. Moreover, constant engagement with sports is a cause of less familiarity with the course curriculum for many students, even though it is a fact that extracurricular activities help mould a well-rounded individual. Therefore, students who spend more than average time in playing sports are less proficient in their course curriculum than other students.
Which of the following statements best supports the above argument?
(A) Students who do not regularly play sports may occasionally indulge in binge-watching popular dramas.
(B) Studies have proven that students regularly playing sports are not likely to show interest in studying the topics included in their curriculum
(C) A well-rounded individual divides his time among multiple activities to gain acceptable proficiency in each of them rather than devoting time to master only one or two.
(D) Engaging with course curriculum is the significant other alternative activity for students who do not spend more than average time playing sports.
(E) Typically, the students who win the maximum number of awards in sports are less familiar with their course curriculum than the students who show disinterest in sports.

Out of the given options, statement (D) best supports the argument that students who spend more time playing sports are less proficient in their course curriculum. This is because statement (D) suggests that engaging with the course curriculum is the significant alternative activity for students who do not spend more than average time playing sports, implying that the time spent playing sports may detract from time that could be spent studying.
Statements (A) and (E) do not provide any relevant information about the relationship between sports and academic proficiency, while statement (C) only suggests that a well-rounded individual should divide their time among multiple activities, without addressing the impact of sports on academic performance.
Statement (B) appears to contradict the argument by stating that students who regularly play sports are not likely to show interest in studying the topics included in their curriculum. However, this statement does not necessarily imply that these students are less proficient in their coursework, as they may still be able to achieve academic success despite their lack of interest. Therefore, statement (D) is the best choice.

Ok so basically, D is a tricky one to reach to, but if we can figure out how to eliminate B which is the trap option we will be left with D and that is the answer. So, B says that studies have proven that they don't have interest , but studies said that they are less familiar and less familiarity doesn't mean you are not interested.
but let me know if approached it correctly!
Thanks in advance!
