A traditional basketball team has 12 players, with ______ basketball players on the court at any given time.

5

The correct answer is Option (4) → 5

In a traditional basketball team, there are 12 players in total, but only 5 players are allowed on the court at any given time during the game. The other 7 players are typically substitutes who can be rotated in and out of the game based on strategy, performance, and game situations. This format allows teams to maintain player freshness, adapt to opponent tactics, and utilize different player skills throughout the game.
