Full Answer

A.Etiquette✓ Correct
The correct answer is A. Etiquette refers to the unwritten rules of conduct in sport, concerning respect for opponents and officials.
Etiquette in sport refers to the unwritten rules or conventions that govern how players behave. It's about sportsmanship, fairness, and respect for opponents, officials, and the sport itself. Examples include shaking hands, kicking the ball out of play when a player is injured, or applauding a good shot from an opponent.

Common mistakes

Confusing etiquette with gamesmanship. Gamesmanship is about trying to gain an advantage by using dubious, but not illegal, methods (e.g., time-wasting), whereas etiquette is about upholding the spirit of the game.
