Answer
- B If the official is sure the player is calling incorrectly on purpose, the official can also issue a code violation for unsportsmanlike conduct.
- D The call can be treated as a deliberate hindrance, and the player loses the point.
Explanation
The first time, the official must warn the player that any further obviously incorrect call may count as a deliberate hindrance. The player then loses the point. If the calls are shown to be deliberate, a code violation for unsportsmanlike conduct is added. The guidelines do not provide for an immediate default for this.
