Is the ball out of bounds when it touches a player who is out of bounds? Yes.

Is the ball out of bounds when it touches any person, floor or object outside a boundary? Yes.

Is the ball out of bounds when it touches a supports or back of backboard? Yes.

So then your answer to the question is (D). These 3 cases may not be all the cases which cause the ball to become dead, but they're all true. IOW, it's options are correct, but incomplete.

Jugs, I agree it's incomplete; however, as written I agree the answer is D - a certain state association doesn't agree.

Edit: I must be missing something.

Did they say why or what in particular causes (D) to not be the correct answer?

Maybe they supplied option (E) in invisible ink?

They haven't yet. I'm trying to get clarification as to why the answer isn't 'D'.

Maybe (hopefully) the answer key is wrong?
