• A. $1$ and $2$
• B. $2$ and $4$
• C. $3$ and $1$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B $2$ and $4$

In the given picture shooting circle is marked as point 2, whereas the penalty spot is marked as point 4. Shooting circle is a 'D' shaped area in front of each goal, which an attacking player must enter prior to shooting a goal. It is also known as "striking circle", "goal circle" or sometimes referred as 'D'. It is after the dotted arcs.

Penalty spot is marked at 6.4 meters from the backline and in the centre of each goal. It is the spot from where the penalty stroke is taken.
