Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no reason to capitalize "High School" or "Swim Team" as they are not names. Future Farmers is the name of, I assume a company and therefore should be capitalzied. The same is true for America, it's the name of a country. Also, B does not capitilize "Of" which is gramatically correct.

Explanation: Since “of” is isn’t as important of a word as the others, it doesn’t need to be capitalized
