    A. 4
    Explanation
    In the game of softball, there are four bases. These bases are placed in a diamond shape on the field, with one base at each corner. The bases are numbered in a clockwise direction, starting from home plate as the first base, followed by second base, third base, and finally fourth base, also known as home plate. Players must run to each base in order to score a run for their team.

    A. 3
    Explanation
    In baseball, each team gets 3 outs in each inning. An out is recorded when a batter fails to successfully reach a base before being tagged out or when a fielder catches a fly ball before it touches the ground. Once a team accumulates 3 outs, their turn to bat ends and the opposing team takes their turn. This cycle continues until the game is completed.
