When must free kicks be taken from in soccer?

When the ball is in play
When a goal is scored
From a stopped ball
From out of bounds

The correct answer is: From out of bounds

Free kicks must be taken from out of bounds in soccer. When the ball goes out of play over the touchline or goal line, a free kick is awarded to the opposing team from the spot where the ball left the field. This can happen for throw-ins, goal kicks, or corner kicks. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because free kicks are not necessarily connected to the ball being in play, a goal being scored, or a stopped ball. While these events may lead to situations where free kicks are awarded, the specific requirement for a free kick is the ball going out of bounds.
