A.

B and C don't provide as many things that an athlete must do, and D doesn't clarify what it means by "listen"

Daniela Greene · Answer 2

The sentence that contains an example of precise language is to achieve at the highest levels, an athlete must practice, an athlete must listen to constructive criticism, and an athlete must monitor his or her health?

Explanation:

Precise language uses very specific word to describe and define the subject, the four options are describing the same situations, but option A is the one that uses more specific and detailed words, such as "constructive criticism" and "monitor his or her health" besides the constant use of the noun "the athlete" instead of pronouns.
