Explanation:

Question 10

Babe Ruth was a famous baseball player for the New York Yankees and a major sports icon of his period. Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle were also Yankees but Babe Ruth is more associated with being a greatest sports icon of that era. Jack Dempsey was a boxer, not a baseball player for the Yankees.

After World War I, Americans were disillusioned by the war and sought figures to believe in, which is why they looked up to heroes in the 1920s. Option b is more about the effect of heroes rather than the reason they were looked up to, and option c is not the primary reason as the main context was post - war disillusionment.

Answer:

b. Babe Ruth
