    A. Defense
    Explanation
    Man-to-man and zone are two examples of defensive strategies in sports, particularly in team sports such as basketball or football. In man-to-man defense, each defender is assigned to guard a specific player on the opposing team. On the other hand, zone defense involves defenders guarding specific areas on the playing field instead of individual players. Both strategies aim to prevent the opposing team from scoring by blocking their offensive plays and disrupting their movements. Therefore, the correct answer is defense.

The pass refers to the act of receiving and directing the ball to the setter, while the kill refers to a successful attack that results in a point. However, in this scenario, the correct answer is set because it describes the specific action mentioned in the question.
