To reduce incidences of childhood obesity, a city plans to fund after-school sports programs. Proponents argue this will be effective. Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the proponents' argument?

A The city's current after-school programs are significantly underutilized.
B A significant portion of obese children in the city participate in no regular physical activity.
C The city's school lunch program already provides healthy meal options to students.
D Childhood obesity is linked to genetic factors as well as lifestyle choices.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

If a significant portion of obese children lacks physical activity, providing sports programs directly addresses a key cause of obesity for that group, thereby strengthening the argument that such programs would be effective.
