Correct Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 11

A field hockey team has a total of 11 players on the field at any given time. This consists of:

  • 10 field players: These players can move freely around the field and use their sticks to hit the ball.
  • 1 goalkeeper: The goalkeeper is the only player allowed to use their body (apart from the stick) to stop the ball from going into their goal.

There can also be substitute players who can be swapped in and out of the game throughout the match. The number of substitutes allowed can vary depending on the league or competition.
