In basketball, what can be the maximum number of points that can be scored in a shot?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 4.

  • A player can also make a two-point shot, miss the following free throw, and earn two points if their teammate gets the rebound and makes a two-point shot.
  • If a shot is successfully scored from outside of the three-point line, three points are awarded. If a shot is successfully scored from inside of the three-point line, two points are awarded. If a team is awarded a technical foul then they will receive between one and three free shots.
