Explanation :
Answer: C) Deuce Explanation: When both sides have won the same number of points then: when each side has won one, or two, points, the score is described as "15-all" and "30-all" (or "15-up" and "30-up"), respectively.

From that point on in the game, whenever the score is tied, it is described as "deuce", regardless of how many points have been played.
