The correct answer is D He continually bobbed his head up and down.
Explanation: In boxing, a fighter who constantly moves their head can make it difficult for opponents to land successful punches. This bobbing motion creates a target that is harder to hit, contributing to the idea that Clay (Muhammad Ali) was tough to catch in the ring.
