Which of the following best completes the passage above?
Some believe that watching sporting events is a waste of time, effort and money since sport, at best, provides temporary avenues of relief from the pressures of work and other stress-causing activities. However, an alternative perspective is that the temporary escape that the brain gets from work-related activities actually helps the brain to perform better in work-related situations, since ______________________________________
(A) work-related activities consume more neurological energy than do activities that are not related to work.
(B) an individual’s level of neurological energy increases when the brain alternates between different types of activities.
(C) the higher the amount of time and energy expended on a recreational activity, the greater is the stress relief it provides.
(D) this alternative theory does not apply to sporting professionals for whom sport is a source of livelihood
(E) the physical activity associated with participating in sports actually increases the neurological energy produced by the brain.
