Consider Option C:

Muscular power is the ability to generate force quickly, which directly translates to vertical jump height needed for effective rebounding in basketball.

Other Options:

A is incorrect: While agility helps with changing direction quickly on the court, it doesn’t specifically address the ability to jump higher.
B is incorrect: Coordination helps with executing complex movements, but doesn’t directly increase jumping height.
D is incorrect: Balance assists in controlling body position during play, but is not the primary component needed for increased jump height.
