Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The injured captain likely feels a large amount of stress because he now has less control over the outcome than he did before. As a player, he could have directly impacted the game's result. However, as a spectator, he can only watch and hope that his teammates win. This lack of control can lead to increased stress and anxiety.
