B Correct answer
Explanation

This statement is False. In cricket terminology, 111 is called 'Nelson' (and sometimes 222, 333, etc.). The term comes from the myth that Lord Nelson had one eye, one arm, and one leg. 'Double Nelson' would typically refer to 222, not 22. The number 22 itself is not specially named in cricket terminology. This appears to be a confusion with the actual cricket term 'Nelson' for 111.
