Which statement about Libero designation is true?

• A. A team can designate only one Libero for the match
• B. A team can designate zero or one Libero for each set, or two Liberos for the match
• C. A team can designate zero, one, or two Liberos for each set
• D. A team can designate zero, one, or two Liberos for each match

Answer: (B)

Libero designation is about how many Liberos a team is allowed to use in a match and how they can be used across sets. The Libero is a defensive specialist who is restricted to back-row play and can substitute for other back-row players without counting against the team's usual substitutions. The best statement reflects the official usage: you can either have zero or one Libero active in a given set, or you can designate two Liberos for the entire match to use across the sets. This captures the flexibility of choosing no libero in a set, using a single libero across sets, or having two Liberos designated for the match and rotating them as needed. The other options don’t fit because they imply limits or allowances that aren’t part of the standard rule: designating only one Libero for the entire match, or allowing two Liberos to be used in every set, or suggesting two Liberos can be active for each set.
