\(B\)

Show Worked Solution
  • B is correct: Consecutive shots without rest intervals (massed); complete shooting action performed each time (whole)

Other Options:

  • A is incorrect: Part practice isolates skill components; shooting involves complete integrated movement
  • C is incorrect: Distributed practice includes rest breaks; 100 consecutive shots indicates continuous practice
  • D is incorrect: Combines two incorrect elements; practice is massed (continuous) not distributed
