(单选题)

The first games for the disabled were held ______ after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England.

A.40 years

B.21 years

C.10 years

D.9 years

参考答案：D

参考解析：

推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“But when the yearly games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the situation began to change.”和第二段第一句“Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany”可知，Sir Ludwig Guttmann于1939年到达英格兰，而为残疾人而设的首次运动竞赛是在1948年举行的，所以相差9年时间。故选D。
