Answer 2

B. To improve appearance
Athletes tend to focus on the functionality of their bodies and do not concern themselves with appearance. The process of lowering body weight and body fat percentage is difficult, so an athlete would not utilize his or her time and energy for it. Instead, they focus on improving their performance, being healthier and to be able to compete in lower weight categories (in order to gain an advantage).
