Which is an example of a coactive activity?

• A. Football Match
• B. Archery
• C. High Jump
• D. Swimming

Answer: (D)

Coactive activities involve many people performing the same movement at roughly the same time, in the same environment, and coordinating their actions toward a common outcome rather than directly opposing each other. In swimming, multiple competitors are in the pool at once, each executing the same stroke and propulsion pattern in their own lane. They move together in time, sharing the space and goal of finishing the race, but without directly fighting against one another in the way opponents do in some other sports. This parallel, synchronized execution across several athletes is what makes swimming an example of a coactive activity.

The other options don’t fit as well because football involves direct opposition and tactical interaction with opponents, while archery and high jump are typically performed by individuals without simultaneous, shared action across many performers.
