Correct Answer
B. Someone commits one of the ten direct kick fouls in the penalty box.Explanation
A penalty kick is awarded when someone commits one of the ten direct kick fouls in the penalty box. This means that if a player from the defending team commits a foul inside their own penalty box, such as tripping an opponent or handling the ball intentionally, the opposing team is awarded a penalty kick. This is a direct free kick taken from the penalty spot, with only the goalkeeper defending the goal. The penalty kick is a significant opportunity for the attacking team to score, as they have a clear shot at the goal with no defensive wall in front of them.Rate this question:

It serves as a warning to the player and their team that further misconduct may result in more severe penalties, such as a red card and expulsion from the game.Rate this question:

- D.

Correct Answer
C. With a drop ball between two opposing players.Explanation
When the ball goes out of play and the referee didn't see which player touched it last, the game should be restarted with a drop ball between two opposing players. This is a fair way to restart the game as it allows both teams an equal opportunity to gain possession of the ball. The drop ball involves the referee dropping the ball from waist height between two players from opposing teams, who then compete for possession. This ensures that the game can continue without any unfair advantage given to either team.Rate this question:
