Correct Answer: while


Solution : The most appropriate option is the second option.

Explanation:
The sentence structure suggests a contrast or a simultaneous situation between heat exhaustion being a recreational hazard and athletes playing sports outdoors. The conjunction, w hile fits best in this context by indicating the contrast between these two situations, and implies that, despite heat exhaustion being a hazard, athletes are engaging in outdoor sports.

Therefore, the correct answer would be while.
