Explanation:

• Option A: Some other racquet sports (e.g., table tennis can have various point systems, and tennis has different scoring, but 21 - point play isn't the biggest distinguishing factor as it's more of a rule detail.
• Option B: Many racquet sports like tennis also use a net, so this is not unique.
• Option C: Badminton uses a shuttlecock, not a ball, while most other racquet sports (tennis, squash, table tennis) use a ball. This is a fundamental difference in the equipment used.
