Each match has 4 points and each team plays 4 matches. Hence total number of points is 40
Paraguay wins all matches. So it scores 3 x 4 = 12 points.
Turkey loses all matches. So it scores 1 x 4 = 4 points.
16 points are scored by Turkey and Paraguay
The other teams score 40 - 16 = 24 points
As all other teams score equal points, each team scores 24/3 = 8 pointsCorrect Option: C
