B Correct answer
Explanation

Harbhajan Singh was initially banned for three Test matches after being accused of racially abusing Andrew Symonds during the 2008 Sydney Test. However, after an appeals process and lack of conclusive evidence, the charges were downgraded to using abusive language, and the ban was overturned. This was a highly controversial incident that created significant tension between the Indian and Australian cricket boards.
