The correct answer is D. Boxing.
The Queensbury Rules are a set of rules governing boxing that were written by John Graham Chambers and adopted by the Marquess of Queensberry in 1867. The rules were designed to make boxing safer and more humane, and they have been in use ever since.
The rules include a number of important provisions, such as the use of gloves, a three-minute round limit, and a ten-second count when a boxer is knocked down. The rules also prohibit certain techniques, such as biting, gouging, and hitting below the belt.
The Queensbury Rules have been credited with making boxing a more popular and respectable sport. They have also been adopted by other combat sports, such as mixed martial arts.
A. Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the centre of which is a 22-yard (20-metre) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps. The game proceeds when a player on the fielding team, called the bowler, “bowls” (propels) the ball from one end of the pitch towards the wicket at the other end. The batting side has one player at each end of the pitch, with the player at the opposite end of the pitch from the bowler aiming to strike the ball with a bat. The batting side scores runs when either the bowler unfairly bowls the ball to either side of the wicket (unfairly throwing the ball is called a “wide”), when either the ball reaches the boundary of the field, or when the fielding side commits a “run-out” (when a player is “out” by being hit with the ball while not at the wicket). The fielding side’s aim is to prevent run-scoring and dismiss each player (so they are “out”, and are said to have “lost their wicket”).
B. Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a tennis racket that is strung with cord to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over or around a net and into the opponent’s court. The object of the game is to play the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a good return.
C. Hockey is a family of team sports in which two teams play against each other by trying to maneuver a ball or puck into the other team’s goal using a hockey stick. The game can be played on ice, grass, or artificial turf, though the most common variation is field hockey.
D. Boxing is a combat sport in which two people, usually wearing protective gloves, throw punches at each other for a predetermined number of rounds in a boxing ring. The winner is the boxer who scores more points by landing punches on the other boxer.
