What is the term for kicking or heading the ball away from one's own goal?

Clear
Dead ball
Hand ball
Header

The correct answer is: Clear

The correct answer is A. Clear. In soccer, the term "clear" refers to the act of kicking or heading the ball away from one's own goal, usually to remove the ball from a dangerous scoring position or to alleviate pressure from the defensive zone. This action is commonly used by defenders or goalkeepers to send the ball up the field and out of reach of attacking opponents. The other options are incorrect: - Dead ball refers to a situation when the ball is not in play, such as during a stoppage in the game or after a foul has been committed. - Hand ball is a violation that occurs when a player deliberately handles the ball during play, using their hand or arm. - Header is a term used when a player hits the ball with their head, which can be used both offensively and defensively during a game.
