• A. False
• B. Not specified
• C. True
• D. Both

Answer: (C)

Athletes’ mental adjustment to injuries and the path back to sport, along with how an injury can change an athlete’s sense of self, are central concerns in sport psychology. The field studies psychological responses to injury, maintaining motivation during rehabilitation, reducing fear of re-injury, and planning a confident return to competition, as well as helping athletes redefine themselves beyond sport to cope with identity shifts. Because these topics are clearly within the scope of sport psychology, the statement is true. Not specified or false options don’t fit, since the field indeed covers injury recovery and identity concerns.
