The "Marquess of queens berry rules" is a code of generally accepted rules in which of the following sports ?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct option is (2):
The "Marquess of Queensberry Rules" are universally recognised as the foundation of modern **Boxing**. These rules were officially drafted in 1865 by Welsh sportsman John Graham Chambers and publicly endorsed by John Sholto Douglas, the 9th Marquess of Queensberry, which is where they get their name. They were revolutionary because they replaced the brutal, bare-knuckle London Prize Ring Rules. The most significant introductions that professional and amateur boxing still uses today include the mandatory use of protective gloves, the establishment of three-minute rounds with one-minute rest intervals, the prohibition of wrestling or hugging, and the crucial ten-second count for a knockout. This code transformed boxing from a brutal brawl into a more structured, fairer, and safer sport.

The incorrect option is (1):
The sport of Hockey, particularly Field Hockey, is governed by the rules set forth by the International Hockey Federation (FIH). These rules, which cover aspects like the stick, the ball, the field dimensions, and specific gameplay rules such as obstruction and the use of the hitting circle, developed independently over time. The Marquess of Queensberry Rules were entirely focused on reforming unarmed combat and bear no connection to the technical or safety requirements of a team-based stick and ball game like Hockey.

The incorrect option is (3):
Chess is fundamentally a strategy board game, and its rules are governed by the World Chess Federation (FIDE). These rules detail the setup of the board, the specific legal movements of each piece (pawn, rook, knight, bishop, queen, and king), and the conditions for checkmate, draw, or stalemate. Chess rules pertain to intellectual engagement and abstract strategy, which is conceptually unrelated to the physical and safety regulations established by the Marquess of Queensberry Rules for a contact sport.

The incorrect option is (4):
Tennis is governed by the rules of the International Tennis Federation (ITF). The rules of Tennis, such as the scoring system (love, 15, 30, 40, deuce), the dimensions of the court, and the concept of the service line, trace their formal modern origins to the rules established by the All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club in the 1870s. As a racket sport, its rules are concerned with the interaction between the player, the racket, and the ball, which means the Queensberry Rules for gloved fighting have no relevance to the game of Tennis.
