Explanation
Correct Answer:
Option 3 (Both I and II)
Explanation:
In volleyball, a service is a method of starting the game. Both terms given in the question are types of volleyball serves:
Jump and Serve: In this, the player tosses the ball into the air and then jumps and hits it hard. This is considered the most aggressive serve.
Floating Serve: Also known as a 'floater.' In this, the ball is hit in such a way that it travels through the air without any spin, making its path unpredictable due to air pressure and difficult for the opponent to handle.
Additional Facts:
Underhand Serve: This is considered the easiest serve for beginners.
Overhand Serve: In this, the player hits the ball overhead.
Ace: When a player serves a serve that the opposing team loses points without touching or receiving correctly, it is called an 'ace'.
