Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is C)

Hurdle race is a type of track and field race in which a runner races over a series of obstacles called hurdles. The hurdles are set a fixed distance apart in a lane.

Each lane consists of 10 hurdles. The hurdles are knocked down easily if touched, which allows the athlete to continue the race even if he collides with them.
