Option d) The goal of Physical Education is not for fun and enjoyment.

Explanation:

Fun and recreation ​

• Recreational games can be introduced into physical education programmes to encourage students to play and engage in physical activity during their free time.
• During recess, before or after school, during intramural programmes, or in their neighbourhood with family and friends, students can play their own games.

Physical development

• Physical activity aids in the development and growth of children.
• It aids in the development of healthy body composition, as well as stronger bones and muscles.
• Children who engage in more physical exercise during their childhood are more likely to remain active as adults.
• This is critical for greater health and happiness.

Social development

• Increased confidence, peer acceptance, leadership abilities, and empathy are just a few of the social benefits that sports and physical activity provide for youngsters.
• These four advantages can have a big impact on a child's health, happiness, and future prospects.

Emotional development

• Learning what feelings and emotions are, how and why they arise, recognising your own and others' feelings, and creating effective ways to manage those feelings are all part of emotional development.
