In football, the game clock starts on a free kick to start a period as soon as the ball is kicked, option (a).

Step-by-step explanation:

In football, the game clock starts on a free kick to start a period as soon as the ball is kicked, option (a). This means that as soon as the player takes the free kick and makes contact with the ball, the game clock starts ticking.
