Explanation

In chess, 'j'adoube' (French for 'I adjust') is announced when a player wishes to straighten or adjust a piece on its square without making a move. This must be done before pressing the clock, and if done after, it can be penalized. The other options refer to different game actions: adjournment (A), time increment (B), draw claims (D), and resignation (E).
