There is a limitation on the number of 'Wild Cards' a player may receive to compete in a Grand Slam Tournament. Select the answer using the code given below:

1. A

   1 and 2 only

   This option claims statements 1 and 2 are correct. Statement 2 is incorrect because Grand Slam tournaments have strict entry cut-offs based on professional rankings and qualifying rounds, and are not open to all internationally ranked players above 14 years of age. Hence, this option is wrong.

2. B

   2 and 3 only

   This option claims statements 2 and 3 are correct. Both statements 2 and 3 are incorrect in this combination; statement 2 incorrectly assumes open entry for all players above 14, making this option invalid.

3. C

   1 only

   1 only. Statement 1 is correct because the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open established the Grand Slam Board to coordinate governance, scheduling, and officiating matters. Statement 2 is incorrect because entry is governed by professional rankings and direct acceptance lists, not a blanket rule for all players over 14. Statement 3 is incorrect because Grand Slam rules regulate how many wild cards tournament organizers can grant, but players themselves do not have a career or tournament-wide limitation on receiving wild cards governed in this manner.

4. D

   1, 2 and 3

   This option claims all three statements are correct. Statements 2 and 3 are factually incorrect regarding entry criteria and wild card limits, rendering this option incorrect. Summary. Official key is (c). Statement 1 is correct as the four majors share a coordinating governance structure through the Grand Slam Board, while statements 2 and 3 fail due to incorrect player entry rules and wild card regulations.
