Explanation

The correct answer is C because Tim Montgomery was a professional track and field athlete who specialized in sprinting. On September 14, 2002, at the IAAF Grand Prix Final in Paris, he clocked a time of 9.78 seconds in the 100 m dash. This time broke the previous world record of 9.79 seconds held by Maurice Greene. Although his record was later stripped due to doping violations, at the time of the event in 2002, he was officially recognized for setting the world record in the 100 m dash.
