D Correct answer
Explanation

A beamer is a dangerous delivery in cricket that doesn't bounce (pitch) and travels at head or shoulder height directly toward the batsman. It's typically accidental and considered dangerous bowling, often resulting in a no-ball warning. Unlike good-length deliveries that pitch before reaching the batter, beamers are aimed at the body without touching the ground first.
