B
Correct answer
Explanation
The 1992 World Cup used a controversial rain rule based on 'most productive overs.' South Africa needed 22 off 13 balls when rain interrupted play. The rule calculated their new target as 22 off 1 ball - impossible to achieve. This match exposed the flawed rule, leading to Duckworth-Lewis adoption.
