Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Korfball.

The only sport specifically designed to be played by participants of both genders simultaneously is korfball. Originating in the Netherlands in 1902, korfball is a mixed-gender team sport that involves two teams of eight players, with each team consisting of four men and four women. The objective is to score points by throwing a ball into the opposing team's korf (basket). Korfball promotes gender equality and teamwork, as rules prevent male players from marking female players, ensuring balanced participation.
