B
Correct answer
Explanation
Jim Laker holds the world record for most wickets in a single Test match - 19 wickets for 90 runs against Australia at Old Trafford in 1956. Anil Kumble took 10 wickets in an innings (vs Pakistan, 1999) but the match record belongs to Laker. Shane Warne and Muralitharan are great bowlers but never took 19 in a match.
