____ sports are a $__ billion annual market in the US, with the average family spending more than $____ on their child's primary sport, a __% increase from 2019

• A. Youth
• B. Adult
• C. College
• D. Professional

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is recognizing that the figures described—spending tied to “their child’s primary sport” and a change from 2019—are about activities involving kids and families, which is what youth sports cover. Youth sports markets are defined by what families spend on gear, registration, travel, and coaching for their children’s activities, not by spending related to adults, colleges, or professional athletes. The other categories don’t fit because they target adults (adult sports), institutions and students at the college level, or the professional sports world, none of which are described as tied to a child’s primary sport in a family budget. So the best fit is youth sports, since that term directly reflects the described consumer base and context.
