Explanation:

First Question:

In basketball, guards are typically the players responsible for setting up offensive plays (handling the ball, initiating plays). Forwards focus on scoring/rebounding near the basket, centers on defense/rebounding near the basket, and substitutes are reserves. So the correct option is Guards.

Forwards in basketball do play close to the basket (power forward, small forward near the paint) and also in corner/wing shooting areas (especially small forwards or stretch forwards). So the statement is true.

College/professional basketball courts (e.g., NBA, NCAA) have a length of 94 feet, while high school courts are typically 84 feet. So college/professional court length is greater. The statement is true.

Answer:

C. Guards
