Sportsmanship and Social Respect

The governing concept is sportsmanship expressed through respect for others. Viewing an opponent as a learning partner encourages fair competition, cooperation, emotional control and appreciation of another person’s effort. Option A is correct because advanced sportsmanship is not limited to winning; it includes treating opponents with dignity and using competition for mutual improvement. Option B suggests hostility rather than respect. Option C reduces participation to anxiety about results, while option D refers only to a physical ability and does not address conduct toward others. The example therefore demonstrates a moral and social aim of physical education.
