\(B\)

Show Worked Solution
  • B is correct: Targeted skill practice directly refines motor patterns and ball contact mechanics needed for accuracy.

Other Options:

  • A is incorrect: Core strength aids stability but has less direct impact on kicking accuracy than technique.
  • C is incorrect: Cardiovascular endurance affects fatigue resistance, not technical kicking accuracy.
  • D is incorrect: Ankle taping provides stability but doesn’t address technical components determining accuracy.
