Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A For a better grip on their opponent.
B To keep hands dry as soil will absorb the moisture.
C To increase the roughness of the hands.

Kabaddi players rub their hands with soil so that they get a better grip on their opponents. The game involves grabbing the players of the opponent team. The sweat on the bodies decreases friction and thus does not let the players get a proper grip on the opponents.
