A Correct answer
Explanation

In badminton, the serve must be struck underhand, with the racket head pointing downward at impact. The shuttlecock must be contacted below the server's waist (defined as the lowest rib). This rule prevents powerful overhead serves and maintains the game's strategic balance. Overhead and backhand serves are illegal in standard singles and doubles play.
