D.
not usually allowed on the field of play

Answer 1

Just took the test...the answer is C.  the captains of the two competing teams

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. the captains of the two competing teams. Since they were both active about it it was expected that they would respect fair play and be objective, but of course people lie so neutral officials had to be introduced to have the games be better and less rigged and with more fair play.
