"In baseball, each team gets three outs per inning, after which it's

the other team's turn" is the best example of a zero-sum game.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

In many games victory of one means defeat of others. This is the principle underlying zero-sum games where the gain of one is equal to the loss of another player without bringing any change in the net wealth, hence the change remains zero.

Baseball is one of the best examples of a zero-sum game as in this game each team gets the chance of 3 outs per inning and once one team has played then the other team gets the turn.
