Show answer

Answer: A. First referee

Explanation

The first referee stands on an elevated stand and holds ultimate authority over the entire match. Primary responsibility for sounding the whistle to control match actions belongs exclusively to this official. While other officials assist, the first referee makes final rulings and signals the resumption of play. Volleyball officiating crews typically include a first referee, a second referee, scorers, and line judges. The elevated referee stand provides an unobstructed view of the net and the entire court surface. Match regulations grant the first referee supreme executive power to penalize unsportsmanlike conduct and rule infractions.

Clear hierarchical authority among referees prevents conflicting signals during high-stakes international volleyball competitions. Team captains address only the first referee when seeking clarifications regarding specific officiating judgments. Establishing primary whistle responsibility ensures seamless communication and keeps matches moving efficiently. Option B names the second referee, who assists but lacks the primary authority for starting main plays. Option C refers to the scorer, whose duties involve paperwork and tracking points rather than blowing whistles. Option D is incorrect because primary whistle authority rests solely with the first referee, not both.
