Answer:

C.) Epstein is showing that having a specific gift like a long Achilles tendon can be as valuable in sports as hours of practice.

Explanation:

In The Sports Gene we have one person who was thrusted into the sports industry for having a long Achilles tendon and was very inexperienced. Another character was someone who has spent hours upon hours training. Both of these people ended up in a high stakes competition. Thus proving, an achilles tendon can be as useful as someone who has spent hours practicing. I hope that makes sense and is helpful.
