Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Howard Gardner developed the theory of multiple intelligences, which posits that there are different types of intelligence beyond just linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligence. These types include musical, bodily-kinesthetic (athletic), and interpersonal intelligence among others. Therefore, Gardner would be most likely to value musical and athletic abilities as forms of intelligence just as much as math and language abilities.
