c) strikeout

Explanation:

In softball, a double play involves two consecutive put - outs in a single play. A strikeout is when a batter is put out by strikes, and an error is a mistake by a fielder that allows a batter or runner to advance. The situation described (two consecutive put - outs between the ball leaving the pitcher's hand and returning to the pitcher) matches the definition of a double play.

Answer:

A) Double Play
