Solution

The correct option is E Suggest that athletes special skills have a genetic component
Passage 1 mentions athletes Larry Bird and Willie Shoemaker to support the claim that genotype matters a lot. These athletes would be cloned for their athletic qualities and these athletic qualities have a genetic component- this is why the author of passage 1 mentions two sports stars. Thus E is the best answer.
