Explanation

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

 

The term for the playing area in a game of basketball is called the court. A standard basketball court is rectangular in shape, measuring 28 meters long and 15 meters wide for international play, and slightly smaller in dimensions for other levels. It features a central playing area divided by a mid-court line, with a hoop at each end—one for offensive and one for defensive play. The court includes markings for free-throw lines, three-point lines, and key areas, allowing for structured gameplay.
