Options

• The ball crosses the touchline and goes into the outfield.

• The ball is in the penalty area.

• The ball is near the corner flag.

Answer 1

The ball crosses the touchline and goes into the outfield.

Explanation:

The ball is out of play only when it passes completely over a boundary line. Being on the touchline, in the penalty area, or near the corner flag does not by itself put the ball out of play.
