It is B. I currently have tendinitis in my knee it in my heel. I have Osgood Slatters and Sievers disease. It's no fun, impact is one of the main causes of tendinitis. I am a gymnast, so it is common. Tennis and volleyball are both impact sports, so, that's why B is correct

Answer:

B. Playing Tennis for two hours and then volleyball for two hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Tendonitis is a term used to describe the inflammation of the tendon; in other words, it is a medical condition associated with overworking of the tendon.

The tendon gets swollen and becomes painful after a tendon injury.

Although, it can be caused by quite a number of factors such as age, medical conditions, etc., tendons are often associated with sports such as running, tennis, etc. that involves carrying out the same movements repeatedly (repetitive movements).

From option A through D, the best option that described Tendonitis is option B because playing tennis and then volleyball requires that the player performs some repeated actions or pattern of movements and two hours a piece for both sports is more than enough to overwork the tendon.
