    A wide Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B dead ball Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C no ball Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D yorker Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In cricket, a "wide" is called by the umpire when the bowler delivers a ball that is out of the batter’s reach, and therefore, it cannot be considered a fair delivery. The batter cannot reasonably play a shot at such a ball, and an extra run is awarded to the batting team.
