A Correct answer
Explanation

Left-arm unorthodox spin, where a left-arm bowler spins the ball away from right-handed batsmen using wrist action, is called 'Chinaman' bowling. The term originates from Ellis Achong, a left-arm spinner of Chinese descent from the West Indies. A googly is a leg-spinner's deceptive delivery, a flipper skids straight, and an armball goes straight on, none of which describe left-arm wrist spin.
