A. The seating position places the cyclist in a permanent aerodynamic tuck, with arms and legs contained within the rider’s torso profile, thereby creating less wind resistance than an upright rider faces.

The passage makes it clear that aerodynamic efficiency is the reason for recumbent bicycles’ speed. Look for an answer that emphasizes the aerodynamic advantages of recumbents. Choice (A) looks good, but check the others. Choice (B) is wrong because the author explicitly says that most recumbents are made of steel, not of lighter materials. Choice (C) is a bit tricky because recumbents do maximize aerodynamics, and fairings and seat position do play a role in aerodynamics, but the main way that recumbents maximize aerodynamics is through an aerodynamic tuck. The author clearly states that fairings are optional, so you can’t assume that fairings are responsible for the aerodynamic improvement. Choice (D) doesn’t really work because you know that bicycle manufacturers neglected recumbents for most of the 20th century. Choice (E) doesn’t work either; it’s not specifically steering that makes recumbents faster, and one steering configuration is known to be faster than the other. Choice (A) is the right answer.
