C
Correct answer
Explanation
According to the Laws of Cricket (Law 5.3), the maximum width of a cricket bat at its widest point must not exceed 4.25 inches (10.8 cm). This specification has been strictly defined to maintain standardization in the sport. The options of 3 inches, 5 inches, and 4.5 inches are incorrect - 3 inches is too narrow, while 4.5 and 5 inches exceed the legal limit.
