Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Tug-of-war is unitary because it has a clear goal of pulling the other team across a line. It is maximizing because the goal is to exert the maximum amount of force to win. It is also additive because the pulling force of each team member is added up to determine the overall force of the team.
