Offside position

[Janusz]

Question 1: An attacking player in an offside position runs toward the ball with the intention of playing it. Before they touch the ball or challenge an opponent, a defender deliberately tackles the player from behind inside the penalty area, denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (DOGSO). What is the correct decision?

Penalty kick.
Nature of challenge determines sanction (could be none, YC, or RC)
DOGSO yellow or red off table as no OGSO due to offside.

The vaguery in this question is unreal

Monthly Video Quizzes and there were 4 options but none of them was correct for me​

If the defender tackled the player, as opposed to fouled (whether carelessly or recklessly), it’s no penalty surely?!
