Which letter stands for Offense and is less commonly used than D?

• A. Offense
• B. Defense
• C. Out-of-bounds
• D. Outside-In

Answer: (A)

Offense is the side that has possession, and in field diagrams the shorthand used is often the letter O for Offense and D for Defense. D is the default label that teams see or use most frequently, so the O designation (Offense) is encountered less often. That makes the concept—the Offense label being represented by a less common letter than D—the best fit for this question. The other terms point to different ideas (defense itself, out-of-bounds, or a throw path) and don’t answer which letter stands for the side with possession.
