Explanation:

The text is about the World Cup. The 1934 event in Italy is given as an example of the World Cup's past (it had only 16 teams, mostly from Europe and the Americas). "For example" (Option C) is used to introduce this specific instance to illustrate the general statement about the World Cup's history (it used to have much smaller and more limited geographically teams).

• "Indeed" (A) is used for emphasis, not for giving an example.
• "Though" (B) is for contrast.
• "Moreover" (D) is for adding additional information, not for exemplifying.

Answer:

C. for example.
