Hi Nabeel,

Thanks for the multiple choice test...

I think I would pick 'a'.

Take a look at the lesson we have on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin.  This is the stroke that you need to implement to take the attack.

It may take a little while to implement into your game but it would be worthwhile.
