Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Basketball.

Apart from volleyball, Screen technique is used by players of basketball.
In basketball, the screen technique helps create space and allows a teammate to get free. The player setting the screen blocks the defender’s path, giving their teammate an advantage. The main types are the pick-and-roll, where the screener heads to the basket after setting the screen, and the pick-and-pop, where the screener moves out for a shot. This technique is essential for overcoming defenses and creating scoring opportunities.
