B. “羽毛球 (yǔmáoqiú)” means badminton in Chinese.

Note: In Chinese, people use the character “打 (dǎ)” which means  to play (ball), such as “打篮球 (dǎ lánqiú)” and “打乒乓球 (dǎ pīngpāngqiú).” With “足球 (zúqiú),” people use the word “踢 (tī)” to mean “play” since we use our feet. Therefore we have “踢足球 (tī zúqiú),” which translates into “play football.”
