Which detail from the beginning of part 1 of "For the Win” most supports the prediction that Dean will not properly care for his dogs during the race?

Choice C directly says that Dean knows nothing about dogs and only bought an expensive team and sled. That lack of knowledge about dogs best supports the prediction that he will not care for them properly during the race. The other choices describe Dean’s competitiveness or the conflict with Jake, not his ability to care for the dogs.
