  Volley
Correct Answer
D. Volley

Explanation
A volley in tennis refers to hitting the ball before it bounces on the ground. It requires the player to hit the ball in mid-air, usually near the net. This shot is often used when the opponent's shot is not very powerful or when the player wants to put pressure on their opponent by taking control of the point. A passing shot, on the other hand, is a shot hit by the receiver to pass the net player and win the point. A drive is a powerful shot hit from the baseline, and a smash is a high, overhead shot hit near the net.

C. Court

Explanation
Tennis is typically played on a court, which is a specially designed area with specific dimensions and surfaces for the game. A court provides the necessary infrastructure and features like net, lines, and proper playing surface for players to engage in a competitive match. While it is possible to play tennis on a beach or in a park, these locations may not have the appropriate setup or conditions for a proper game.
