A Correct answer
Explanation

In cricket, a bowler is allowed to bowl only one fast short-pitched delivery per over that passes above the batsman's shoulder height. This is specified in the Laws of Cricket to prevent intimidation and dangerous bowling. The restriction balances giving bowlers some tactical variation while protecting batsmen from excessive bouncers.
