Explanation:

The excerpt focuses on describing the intentions of Allison as she sees an advertisement about a basketball clinic. One of the main ideas is that she wants to improve her skills playing basketball to join her school's basketball team (Option A), and one way to do this is by attending the basketball clinic. This can be seen in "Tryouts for her school team were still a month away... Allison hoped that the instruction at the clinic would address this weakness."

Besides this, the narrator explains the way Allison has practiced, this includes playing with neighbors "she could hold her own in neighborhood games of three-on-three", based on this it can be concluded, Allison has experience in basketball because she plays with friends (Option D). Finally, in all the text the idea Allison wants to learn is reinforced by details such as "her jump shot needed work" that shows she needs to improve and her desire to attend the basketball clinic to improve "she knew she would attend". Thus, it can also be concluded she wants to improve (Option C.)
