E. DancingExplanation
Dancing is not a penalty in basketball because it is not listed as a violation or offense in the official rules of the game. Penalties in basketball typically involve actions that give an unfair advantage to a team or endanger the safety of players, such as kicking the ball, fighting, traveling (taking too many steps without dribbling), or committing a technical foul. Dancing, on the other hand, is not considered a violation or offense unless it interferes with the game or disrupts the flow of play.Rate this question:
