Several teams will play in a tournament. Each game in the tournament will be played by two teams, where one team will win or the teams will tie. Each team will earn 3 points for each win, 1 point for each tie, and 0 points for each loss. If a team plays only four games in the tournament, which of the following could be the total number of points that the team will earn in the tournament?

I. 5
II. 6
III. 11

A. I only
B. II only
C. III only
D. I and II only
E. I, II, and III

can someone please explain why 11 is not an option? PErhaps one team can have 3 wins and two ties i.e 3+3+3+1+1=11

Pay attention to the highlighted part of the stem: a team plays only 4 games, while your example, shows 5 games. In 4 games a team can earn 3 + 3 + 3 + 1 = 10 points or 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 points, but not 11.
