B Correct answer
Explanation

Merv Hughes achieved this rare feat against the West Indies in Perth, 1988-89. His hat-trick spanned three different overs: the last ball of one over (Curtly Ambrose, caught), the first ball of his next over (Patrick Patterson, bowled), and the first ball of the following over (Gordon Greenidge, caught). This is one of cricket's most unusual hat-tricks because it wasn't taken in consecutive deliveries within two overs.
