CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

The bully was hockey's method of restarting play, with two opponents tapping sticks over the ball.
It has largely been replaced in the modern game, but the word survives in question papers and in older writing.
Polo's restart is the throw-in, which is why polo is offered against it.

Worth noting

Several hockey terms have fallen out of use in the sport while staying in general-knowledge material, so the term may be more familiar from a paper than from a match.
