In basketball, players can be awarded a 'free throw' whereby they are allowed to attempt a shot without any defenders - HSC - SSCE Personal Development and Physical Education - Question 13 - 2014 - Paper 1

In a basketball free throw, the player is taking a shot while stationary and without any defenders. This action is classified as a 'closed skill' because it is performed in a predictable environment where the player has control over the timing and execution. Additionally, since it requires precise control and coordination of small muscle groups, it is considered a 'fine motor skill'. Therefore, the correct answer to this question is:

(A) Closed and fine.
