If the server manages to land a legal serve and the receiver is unable to return the ball, it is known as an ace and the server gets the point. Which of the following sport is referred here?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

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

 In tennis, an ace occurs when the server hits a legal serve that the receiver fails to touch or return, immediately winning the point for the server. This term is specific to tennis and sometimes used in table tennis in casual contexts, but officially, in competitive rules, it is a hallmark of tennis. Other sports like badminton, volleyball, or squash have different terminologies for unreturned serves or points, so tennis is the correct answer.
