    In any tennis game, any game starts at 0-0 and the zero point in tennis is called ______________.

    A.

    origin

    B.

    start

    C.

    love

    D.

    base

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is (c) love.
    · In tennis, the score of zero is referred to as "love." For example, when the game starts at 0-0, it is called "love-all."
    Information Booster:
    · Origin of "love": The exact origin of this term is uncertain, but it is believed to come from the French word "l'œuf," meaning "the egg," symbolizing the shape of zero. Over time, this was anglicized to "love."
    · Tennis Scoring System: Tennis uses a unique scoring system where points progress from love (0) to 15, 30, 40, and then game point.
