The most appropriate placement for the dash in the given options is in option D, where it effectively emphasizes the sentiment 'thank goodness!' at the end of the sentence. This use of the dash highlights the speaker's relief about basketball not being exclusive to tall players. It creates a clear contrast and brings attention to the concluding thought.
