Correct Answer
A. 3Explanation
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.Rate this question:
