Correct Answer:
Option 1 (11)
Explanation:
According to the official rules of table tennis, a game is won by the player or pair who first scores 11 points. However, if both sides score 10 points each (called 'deuce'), one side must maintain a two-point lead in a row to win the game.
Additional Facts:
Service Rules: Each player gets two consecutive serves, after which the serve passes to the other player.
Deuce Situation: If the score is 10-10, each player serves only once each until the difference is two points.
History: Originally, a game of table tennis consisted of 21 points, which was changed to 11 points by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) in 2001.
