a universal game
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
The writer says that Football is the only sport that is truly global as it can be found anywhere in the world. The writer compares football to Marley's music. He says "Marley's music is similarly universal..."
The use of the conjunction "but" in option C, makes the sentiment different from that of the writer. The writer makes use of the word "inexpensive" instead of cheap to avoid the negative connotation attached to the word "cheap".
