BTW, I might have tried identifying the name of Sabrina's partner and of their dance, if that clip hadn't been completely gratuitous and irrelevant to the question.

Answer

B: 34 ( 4 )

If this had been my question, I'd probably have gone home with the $5K, thinking it was D. Let's say that I decide to use a lifeline and ATA. I wonder if the New York Liberty is popular enough that the audience would know the answer. In any event, B seems like a really low number.

That does seem like a low number of games. I never paid attention to their season. That's about the same number a college team plays.
