D Correct answer
Explanation

The Carrom Ball is a unique bowling delivery where the ball is gripped between the thumb and middle finger, then flicked in a manner similar to striking a carrom disc. This action imparts significant spin, making it deceptive for batsmen. The Zooter and Doosra are other spin deliveries, but neither uses the thumb-middle finger flick mechanism. Bosie is an old term for a googly.
