B Correct answer
Explanation

The answer is False because this is NOT out. In cricket, if the ball pitches outside the leg stump and hits any part of the batsman's body, it cannot be given out LBW, even if the ball would go on to hit the stumps. The leg-before-wicket law specifically excludes such deliveries.
