Hi Nabeel,
Thanks for the multiple choice test...
I think I would pick 'a'.
Take a look at the lesson we have on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin. This is the stroke that you need to implement to take the attack.
It may take a little while to implement into your game but it would be worthwhile.

Text book info: Loop it if its long.
Yeah i see where you coming from as i cant loop consistently and also effectively. Just practice bit by bit from weight transfer, contact and just focus on the stroke and you'll get there.
