Correct Answer:

Hockey

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) - Hockey

The term 'Penalty Corner' is associated with the game of Hockey.

In field hockey, a penalty corner is awarded to the attacking team when the defending team commits a foul within their own shooting circle or commits a deliberate infringement outside the circle. During a penalty corner, the attacking team takes a shot at goal from a designated spot at the backline, and defenders from the defending team must defend the goal without using their feet. Penalty corners are crucial scoring opportunities in field hockey matches.
