Answer

C. Wide ball

Show ExplanationHide Explanation

Explanation

Wide ball. A wide ball is a delivery too far from the batsman to hit normally, giving one extra run and being re-bowled. A bouncer is a short-pitched ball rising toward the head or chest. A no ball is an illegal delivery (e.g., overstepping), leading to a free hit in limited-overs cricket. A full toss reaches the batsman without bouncing, often making it easier to hit.
