Explanation
This question is asking us to evaluate whether the evidence provided by Colin in his argument is relevant to his claim. Colin's claim is that flying drones is a sport and doing so would not pose a threat to people's privacy. His evidence in his argument to back his claim is A) that drone-flying is like other sports and requires an equal amount of coordination and technical skills and that B) If people acknowledged drone-flying as a sport, they would stop complaining, implying that there is a misconception among people that considers drone flying breaching in privacy.
