Explanation
The word "Jonrón" is the correct answer because it is the Spanish translation of the term "Homerun". In baseball, a homerun refers to a hit that allows the batter to circle all the bases and score a run. "Encestar" means to score in basketball, "Platillo" means dish or plate, and "Lanzar" means to throw. Therefore, "Jonrón" is the most appropriate term related to the concept of a homerun.
