Correct Answer
D. The distance from the goal line to the dead ball line will preferably be not less than 10 metres.Explanation
The correct answer is that the distance from the goal line to the dead ball line will preferably be not less than 10 metres. This means that the distance between these two lines should be at least 10 meters. This is important in sports like rugby or soccer as it allows enough space for players to maneuver and for the ball to be played without obstruction. A shorter distance could lead to congestion and limit the ability of players to effectively play the game.Rate this question:
