A. Goes to exclusion areaExplanation
When a referee excludes a player, it means that the player has committed a violation or misconduct and needs to be temporarily removed from the game. Therefore, the player goes to the exclusion area, which is a designated area where excluded players wait until they are allowed to rejoin the game. This ensures that the player is appropriately penalized for their actions and does not continue to play while excluded.Rate this question:
