**Question 3**
A back-row player may legally attack the ball from the front zone if:
A. The ball is completely above the height of the net at contact
B. The ball is completely below the height of the net at contact ✓
C. The player jumps from behind the 10-foot line but lands in the front zone
D. The player is the setter
**Correct Answer: B ✓**
Rationale: A back-row player may attack (spike) the ball only if the ball is completely
below the height of the net at the moment of contact. If the ball is above the net and a
back-row player contacts it from the front zone, it is an illegal back-row attack. The
player may jump from behind the 10-foot line (attack line) but cannot land in the front
zone? Actually, landing is allowed; the position of the ball matters.
