Prosocial Behaviour and Cooperation

Correct answer: A. Helping a teammate, encouragement and fair cooperation

The governing concept is prosocial behaviour, meaning voluntary conduct that benefits, supports, or respects other people and strengthens cooperation. In physical education, a learner may help a teammate understand a skill, encourage someone after an error, share equipment fairly, communicate respectfully, or cooperate toward a team goal. Option A is correct because all three behaviours—helping, encouragement, and fair cooperation—promote another person’s participation and the group’s well-being. B deliberately creates harm, C humiliates rather than supports, and D damages unity. Prosocial conduct is therefore both a social skill and an expression of the moral aims of physical education.
