• B. Umpire Duties
• C. Game Management and Administration
• D. Protests, Appeals, and Discipline

Answer: (C)

Lineups, lineup cards, and substitution order are all about organizing and supervising how the game will be played. The lineup specifies which players are in the batting order and field positions, the lineup card serves as the official record used by coaches and the officials to verify who is eligible and who is in the game, and the substitution order controls when players can enter or re-enter the game to maintain proper procedure. These tasks fall under Game Management and Administration because they cover the procedures, records, and processes that keep the game orderly and in compliance with the rules.

Umpire Duties focuses on making calls and enforcing rules during play, Protests, Appeals, and Discipline deals with challenging decisions and penalties, and Team Roster and Substitutions centers on who is on the team and the general rules for substituting players. The specific items listed are best categorized as part of game management and administration.
