Show Worked Solution

Consider Option D:

  • Player W demonstrates natural ability in field vision and problem-solving (cognitive abilities)
  • Player Y shows physical heredity traits (body type and muscle fibre composition)
  • Both of which are non-modifiable characteristics.

Other Options:

  • A is incorrect: Player X’s dedication and risk-taking are personality traits which can be developed.
  • B is incorrect: Both Player X’s dedication and Player Z’s cooperation are modifiable personality traits.
  • C is incorrect: While Player Y has non-modifiable physical traits, Player Z’s cooperation and listening skills are modifiable personality traits.
