Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

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

The term 'direct free kick' is related to **football (soccer)**. In football, a direct free kick is awarded when a player commits a foul, such as tripping or holding an opponent. Unlike an indirect free kick, which requires the ball to touch another player before a goal can be scored, a direct free kick allows the player taking the kick to attempt to score a goal directly from the spot where the foul occurred.
