The committee is looking for young people who are likely to become great Olympics skaters. Skating is a physical activity that requires body movement control and awareness. In addition, the committee believes an understanding of one's emotions is a plus because it will help the skaters through training and competitions. Therefore, the two intelligences that should be the focus of their search are movement (for physical skills) and intrapersonal (to understand one's emotions). Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
