D Correct answer
Explanation

In the 1996 World Cup, Sachin Tendulkar was indeed the highest run-scorer with 523 runs. Kenya vs West Indies (not Zimbabwe) was played at Barabati Stadium, Cuttack (not Patna). The India-Sri Lanka semi-final at Eden Gardens was abandoned due to crowd trouble when India collapsed. Aravinda de Silva was Player of the Series/Match in the final, not Sanath Jayasuriya who scored heavily in group stages. Option D claiming he was Player of the Series is correct, making it the incorrect answer to pick.
