Answer:

D. An average hockey team plays its starting goalie in 4 out of 5

games, with two backup goalies sharing the remainder.​

Step-by-step explanation:

The claim is that the media does not give enough attention nor credit to the job that goalies do for their teams, so the number of games that a goalie plays and how that is divided by the backup is not a decision that is made by the media or has anything to do with them, so that would be the weakest evidence to support the claim.
