A is correct: The drill develops offensive decision-making and spatial awareness when players have numerical advantages.

Other Options:

B is incorrect: While the defender experiences pressure, the drill’s primary focus is offensive tactical development.
C is incorrect: Ball-handling is a technical skill; the drill focuses on tactical decision-making rather than technique.
D is incorrect: Physical conditioning is a secondary benefit rather than the primary tactical development focus.
