In which situation is the aim of respect for authority correctly shown in physical education?
Respect for authority in physical education does not mean that a player can never disagree. It means recognising the legitimate role of officials, following established procedures and expressing disagreement calmly and respectfully. A player may ask for clarification or use an authorised appeal, but should not insult, threaten or attack the referee. Politely accepting a decision after disagreement demonstrates self-control, discipline, sportsmanship and respect for the rules and the official responsible for applying them. Shouting, fighting or abandoning the game in protest shows poor emotional control and disregard for sporting procedure. Therefore option A is the correct example of respect for authority in a physical-education setting.
