In December 2010, the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the global governing body of soccer, announced that the 2022 World Cup would be held in Qatar. Immediately, a swirl of controversy surrounded the decision, which followed previous allegations that certain FIFA members had accepted monetary bribes in exchange for their bid votes. Soccer fans questioned how Qatar was able to win the bidding process over other bidders, such as the United States, Australia, South Korea, and Japan. In addition to the logistical problem of oppressive heat during the summer months in which the World Cup is traditionally held, Qatar is a controversial choice because of allegedly discriminatory legislation and its restrictive alcohol policy, which some claim is at odds with the activities typical of a sporting event. Additionally, Qatar would have to build venues for the event from scratch. Nonetheless, FIFA officials insist that this furthers the goal of spreading soccer to new places.

A. FIFA is a corrupt and unethical organization.
Extreme and no where stated , in the passage the portions correlate to it, is Immediately, a swirl of controversy surrounded the decision, which followed previous allegations that certain FIFA members had accepted monetary bribes in exchange for their bid votes.

In the passage the portions related to it, is Qatar would have to build venues for the event from scratch.No where it has predicted that Qatar will not be adequately prepared.
C. Japan was most deserving of winning the 2022 World Cup bid.
Completely out of context and no-where stated.
D. Qatar is a controversial choice to host the 2022 World Cup.

E. Soccer fans will be unlikely to travel to Qatar for the 2022 World Cup.

So D
