An incomplete pass and a fumble also result in a dead ball. Additionally, if the ball goes out of bounds, it is considered dead and the play is stopped. Therefore, all of the options mentioned in the question result in a dead ball.

Explanation
An interception occurs when a defensive player catches a ball that was intended to be caught by an offensive player.

By intercepting the ball, the defensive team gains possession and prevents the offensive team from completing their intended play.

Movement across the line of scrimmage before the football is snapped.

Correct Answer
Offsides

Explanation
Offsides refers to the penalty in football when a player from the defensive team crosses the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped. This is considered a violation of the rules as it gives the defensive player an unfair advantage over the offensive team. The penalty results in a loss of yards for the defensive team and a replay of the down.
