C. Both 1 and 2
Show Explanation
Explanation
Both statements are correct under the general field dimensions in IFAB Law 1. The goal line may be 45–90 metres long, giving a maximum of 90 metres. International matches have a narrower permitted range of 64–75 metres. IFAB was founded in 1886. The 90-metre limit refers to the general rule, not the international-match limit.
