Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The plural present tense "offer" is correct because the subject is "sports" (plural) and the sentence describes a general present fact. The structure is: "sports plural subject _____ [verb] an outlet." Simple present fits the factual context. "Offered" is past, "have offered" is present perfect, and "are offering" is present continuous - none match the general truth context.
