The serve is a NET, which means replacing the serve. A LET means to replay the point, thus giving the server two serves again. This is the biggest mistake of words in tennis, not that it makes a whole lot of problems, but nonetheless wrong.

(C)The serve is a let.

If the server serves the ball and it hits the net and still falls in the service area then it is not considered a fault and the server may repeat the serve.
