This question implies that you should examine the passage explicitly. Option D is the only statement that is explicitly and accurately stated in the passage. Option A - the passage rather states that "Nearly all the sports practised nowadays are competitive" and not "All the sports" Option B - the passage rather states that: "You play to win, and the game has little meaning unless you do your utmost to win." this expression is partially different from: "games have meaning only when the participants play to win" Option C - the passage rather states that: "it is possible to play simply for fun of it", not: "it is impossible to play a game simply for fun of it" Option D - the passage clearly states that: "On the village green, where you pick no sides and the feeling of local patriotism is not involved, it is possible to play simply for fun of it and exercise. This is clearly expressed in: "on the local green, you play not to win but for the fun of it" So, Option D is clearly the answer.
