In which of the following sports is the term “slam dunk” used ?
Basketball
Many sports have their own technical terms for particular shots or moves, and a slam dunk is one such term.
A slam dunk is a shot in which a player jumps high near the basket and forcefully pushes the ball down through the hoop with one or both hands, often holding the rim. It belongs to basketball, where scoring is done by putting the ball through a raised ring.
Netball also uses a ring, but its rules forbid dunking and contact with the ring for scoring in this way; volleyball uses terms such as spike, block and dig, and handball uses terms such as jump shot and seven-metre throw.
Basketball option is correct.
