    • C.

    • D.

      Every 4 years

    Correct Answer
    D. Every 4 years
    Explanation
    The FIFA World Cup is held every 4 years. This allows for enough time for teams to qualify, prepare, and compete in the tournament. It also gives fans enough time to anticipate and plan for the event. Holding the World Cup more frequently may diminish its significance and make it less special. On the other hand, holding it less frequently, like every 100 or 500 years, would make it extremely rare and inaccessible for most people to experience. Every 4 years strikes a balance between keeping the event exciting and maintaining its accessibility.
