D Correct answer
Explanation

Mahela Jayawardene scored 374 runs against South Africa in 2006, falling just 26 runs short of Brian Lara's 400 record. The question says '20 runs' which is incorrect mathematically (400-374=26). Jayasuriya, de Silva, and Sangakkara didn't come as close to the 400-mark.
