When can a goal be scored in soccer by kicking the ball straight into the goal?

goalpost
throw-in
tackle
direct kick

The correct answer is: direct kick

A goal in soccer can be scored by kicking the ball directly into the goal when a direct kick is awarded. A direct kick is usually given after a foul, and the team taking the kick can shoot the ball directly into the goal without needing it to touch another player first. This is different from a goalpost, which is a structure on the field, a throw-in, which is a method of restarting play from the sideline, and a tackle, which is a defensive play to steal the ball from an opponent. Therefore, the correct answer is D, direct kick.
