Explanation

When a batsman has a runner and is not on strike, they must stand where directed by the striker's end umpire to avoid interfering with play. They cannot stand arbitrarily in the field (option A) or only inside the crease (option B). The fielding captain has no authority to position the non-striker (option D). The umpire ensures fair play.
