D Correct answer
Explanation

Test cricket has no fielding restrictions - there is no mandatory 30-yard circle or limit on fielders in certain areas, unlike limited-overs formats (ODI and T20). All 11 fielders can be placed anywhere on the field (subject to no-ball/wide regulations). This is why Test cricket allows more tactical flexibility in field placement.
