What constitutes a direct free-kick offense in soccer?

Intentionally kicking the ball out of play
Pushing or striking an opponent
Failing to notify the referee of a substitution
Stepping into the goal area before the ball is kicked

The correct answer is: Pushing or striking an opponent

In soccer, a direct free-kick offense occurs when a player pushes or strikes an opponent. This is considered a foul and results in a direct free-kick being awarded to the opposing team from the spot where the offense occurred. Options A, C, and D are not correct because intentionally kicking the ball out of play, failing to notify the referee of a substitution, and stepping into the goal area before the ball is kicked do not constitute direct free-kick offenses in soccer.
