In tennis, a "service fault" occurs when the server fails to deliver a valid serve. The correct answer to identify a service fault from the options provided is:

C. the ball hits the net and lands outside of the service box.

This is a fault because the serve must clear the net and land within the service box for it to be considered valid.
