‘Castling’ is related to which of the following sports?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Chess.

Castling is a unique move in chess. It is the only move in which a player moves two pieces simultaneously: the king and one of the rooks. The move has specific conditions: neither the king nor the chosen rook must have moved before, there must be no pieces between them, and the king must not be in check or move through or land on a square under attack. Castling serves both offensive and defensive purposes, improving king safety while activating the rook.
