The given answer "Jugar" is the correct answer because it is the Spanish word for "to play."

Explanation
The word "Jonrón" is the correct answer because it is the Spanish translation of the term "Homerun". In baseball, a homerun refers to a hit that allows the batter to circle all the bases and score a run. "Encestar" means to score in basketball, "Platillo" means dish or plate, and "Lanzar" means to throw. Therefore, "Jonrón" is the most appropriate term related to the concept of a homerun.
