Correct option is C
The Correct Answer is: (C) The score when a player has zero points
Explanation:
In tennis scoring, the term "love" refers to a score of zero. If a player has not yet scored any points, their score is called "love".
For example, if a match score is 15-love, it means that one player has scored 15 points, while the other has zero points.
The term "love" is believed to have originated from the French word "l'œuf", meaning "egg", because an egg resembles the number zero.
