Correct answer: C — Adductor-related groin pain

The Doha classification defines adductor-related groin pain by adductor tenderness and pain on resisted adduction. A sprint mechanism and focal proximal adductor pain support the diagnosis. Rehabilitation should restore adductor strength and change-of-direction tolerance.
