Kubey and Csikszentmihaly (2002) reported that compared to active recreation, television watching "sucks people's energy and dampens their moods." Therefore, option C is the best choice as it describes the negative effects of television watching. Option A is incorrect as there is no mention of hostile moods being induced. Option B is partially correct as Kubey and Csikszentmihaly (2002) also reported that television watching is associated with consuming non-nutritious food, but this is not a direct comparison to active recreation. Option D is incorrect as although television watching can create a feeling of relaxation, this is not the main focus of the comparison to active recreation.
