Explanation

Brian Lara is the only player to score a quintuple century (500+ runs) in any form of cricket. He scored 501 not out for Warwickshire against Durham in 1994, setting a first-class cricket record. This remains the highest individual score in top-level cricket. Option B is correct. Neither Tendulkar, Bradman, nor Richards have achieved a quintuple century.

AI explanation

Brian Lara is the only batsman to score 500 not out in an innings, a first-class world record he set in 1994 for Warwickshire against Durham - a score sometimes referred to as a 'quintuple century' since it is five times a hundred. No other player, including Tendulkar or Bradman, has reached this milestone in any form of recognised cricket.
