Which of the following is considered a fault in badminton?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Server steps on boundary line while serving.
In badminton, a fault results in the loss of a point or the service. Stepping on any boundary line during the service is a violation, as both the server and receiver must remain within their respective service courts without touching the lines until the shuttle is struck.
Other common faults include:
-
Striking the shuttle above the waist during a serve.
-
The shuttle getting caught in the net or hitting the ceiling.
-
A player's body or racket touching the net while the shuttle is in play.
