Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

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

This principle is also known as the "three-step rule." Players can pass, dribble (as in basketball), or shoot the ball after receiving it.

  • Players are permitted to take up to three steps after receiving the ball without dribbling. A player may advance three steps if they dribble.
  • After stopping their dribble, players have three seconds to pass or shoot. Thereafter, they may proceed in three more steps.
  • The goal line (within 6 meters of the goal) is off-limits to all players save the opposing keeper. Outside of this line, goalkeepers are permitted.
