Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) Rehearsal is important for musicians, actors and public speakers.

Explanation

“No less important” explicitly rejects treating public-speaking rehearsal as less important. The passage advocates preparation for all three activities without ranking musicians against actors. Hence **A** is supported; the comparative claims in B,C,D are not.
