Can a libero replace a teammate who has been disqualified?

The role of the libero in volleyball is unique and comes with specific rules regarding substitutions and player eligibility. A libero is a specialized defensive player who cannot be the team captain or participate in blocking or attacking actions.

When a player is disqualified, they are not allowed to continue or even participate in the match, which means that any associated substitutions or replacements must adhere to the standard rules of player eligibility and participation. Since the libero is not allowed to enter the game in place of a player who has been disqualified, the option that states that the libero cannot replace a disqualified teammate is correct. The rules ensure that the integrity of the game is maintained, and replacements follow the protocol that does not allow a libero to step in for a disqualified player, thus reinforcing the limitations of the libero's role.
