Need help.

Officials of the Youth Hockey League and parents of players in the league have become concerned with the number of flagrant fouls occurring during league games. This past season, the number of flagrant fouls was double the number from the season before. League officials plan to reduce the number of such fouls during the coming season by implementing mandatory suspensions for players who commit flagrant fouls.

Which of the following statements, if true, provides the best evidence that the officials' plan will be effective?
A. Most serious injuries occurring during league games are a direct result of flagrant fouls.
B. League referees have been trained to recognize flagrant fouls and to report incidents involving such fouls.
C. Parents of players in the league are in support of mandatory suspensions for flagrant fouls.
D. A similar league suspends players for committing flagrant fouls; this league has a relatively low incidence of flagrant fouls when compared with the Youth Hockey League.
E. Most players in the league strive to be selected for the All-Star team, and league rules state that no player with a record of suspension shall be selected for the All-Star team.

Choice E

Only this answer gives a reason why a player might not want to commit a foul. If the player knew his chances of getting into the All star team is dependent on his not being suspended for committing a foul, he might be more cautious
