Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Swimming.

The "Breaststroke" is a swimming technique featured in competitive swimming. It is one of the four competitive swimming strokes, alongside freestyle, backstroke, and butterfly. In breaststroke, swimmers move their arms in a simultaneous forward circular motion while bringing their legs together and performing a frog kick. This stroke requires strength, coordination, and balance, making it a popular choice in individual medley events. Breaststroke is known for its distinctive glide phase, where swimmers submerge their heads during each stroke.
