To find the number of students who received sports drinks, we need to divide the total number of drinks by the number of drinks each student received.
First, let's calculate the total number of drinks. We know that there were 76 cases, and each case contained 24 drinks.
Total number of drinks = 76 cases × 24 drinks per case = 1824 drinks
Now, to find how many students received sports drinks, we divide the total number of drinks by the number of drinks each student received.
Number of students = Total number of drinks ÷ Drinks per student
Number of students = 1824 drinks ÷ 3 drinks per student
Number of students = 608
Therefore, the answer is D) 608.
