Explanation:

To determine the biggest benefit for female tennis players from the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) formation, we analyze the options:

• Option A (endorsing athletic products) is a possible benefit but not the biggest or core impact of the WTA, which focuses on equity in the sport.
• Option B (more men watching) relates to audience growth, not a direct benefit to female players’ careers or earnings.
• Option C (empty seats in tournaments) is unrelated to benefits for players.
• Option D (closer prize money to men’s) aligns with the WTA’s core goal: achieving pay equity. The WTA fought for equal prize money, so this is the most significant benefit.

Answer:

D. Closer than ever when it comes to prize money for female players
