It seems like you are looking for the term that describes the action of hitting the ball to an empty part of the playing area in volleyball. The appropriate term would be "placing" the ball or "strategic placement." However, if we are to stick with the options you provided, "d. Setting" might be the closest, as it involves positioning the ball for a teammate, but it doesn't specifically refer to hitting it to an empty spot.
