C) Powerplay
Explanation:
1. A powerplay occurs when one team has more players on the ice than the other team due to penalties assessed to the shorthanded team.
2. During a powerplay, the team with more players (usually due to the opposing team receiving a penalty) has a strategic advantage, as they can outnumber their opponents and increase their chances of scoring a goal.
3. Powerplays are a critical part of ice hockey strategy, where teams aim to capitalize on the temporary numerical advantage to create scoring opportunities and control the game.
Therefore, in the scenario described in the question, a powerplay accurately represents the situation where one team has more players on the ice than the other due to penalties assessed to the shorthanded team.
