Option 1: Billiards and Kabaddi

This option suggests that the two new disciplines added to the 2010 Commonwealth Games are billiards and kabaddi. Billiards is a cue sport that involves using a cue stick to strike billiard balls, while kabaddi is a contact team sport played between two teams. However, this option is incorrect.

Option 2: Tennis and Archery

This option states that the two new disciplines added to the 2010 Commonwealth Games are tennis and archery. Tennis is a racket sport played between two players or two teams, while archery is a sport that involves using a bow to shoot arrows. This option is correct.

Option 3: Basketball and Volleyball

This option suggests that the new disciplines added to the 2010 Commonwealth Games are basketball and volleyball. While basketball and volleyball are popular sports, they were already established disciplines in the Commonwealth Games and were not added in 2010. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

Option 4: Tennis and Billiards

This option states that the two new disciplines added to the 2010 Commonwealth Games are tennis and billiards. While both tennis and billiards are sports, only tennis was added as a new discipline in the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
