    Answer options:

    A.

    Agility

    B.

    Muscular endurance

    C.

    Reaction time

    D.

    Strength

    How to approach this question

    Read the question carefully and identify the key action: 'dribbling a ball around a defender'. Consider the definition of each component of fitness and decide which one best describes the ability to perform this action effectively.

    Full Answer

    A.Agility✓ Correct
    Agility is defined as the ability to move and change direction quickly and efficiently while maintaining control. When a basketball player dribbles around a defender, they must make rapid changes in direction to create space and avoid being tackled. This makes agility the most critical component of fitness for this specific action.

    Common mistakes

    Students might confuse agility with speed or reaction time. While both are involved, agility specifically refers to the change of direction aspect which is key to getting 'around' a defender.
