Radha's statement "Impossible, A boxer's most important asset is his aggressiveness" is a direct counter to Geeta's claim that Naresh became a better boxer *since he started meditation*. For Radha to believe it's "Impossible" that meditation made Naresh a better boxer, given her premise that aggressiveness is key for a boxer, she must believe that meditation negatively impacts aggressiveness. Let's analyze the options: A) meditation tends to make a person less aggressive This aligns perfectly with Radha's reasoning. If meditation makes a person less aggressive, and aggressiveness is a boxer's most important asset, then starting meditation would make a boxer worse, not better. This explains why she says "Impossible." B) meditation has little or no effect on the person who practices it If meditation had no effect, Radha might question Geeta's claim, but her specific reason about "aggressiveness" would be irrelevant. Her statement implies a *negative* effect on a crucial boxing trait. C) Naresh was a poor boxer earlier because he was not aggressive enough Radha's statement is a general principle about boxers and a specific reaction to Naresh starting meditation. It does not comment on Naresh's past performance or his previous level of aggressiveness. D) Naresh would not have taken to meditation as he was a boxer. Radha's statement is a response to the fact that Naresh *has started* meditation, not a speculation about whether he *would* start it. Therefore, Radha's statement reflects her belief that meditation makes a person less aggressive, which she sees as detrimental to a boxer. The final answer is A.
