D Correct answer
Explanation

Badminton holds the record for the fastest racket sport, with smash speeds exceeding 400 km/h (about 250 mph) in professional play. While tennis and squash are fast-paced, badminton's lightweight shuttlecock allows for the highest recorded speeds. Table tennis balls are slower despite quick reflexes.

AI explanation

Badminton is widely recognized as the fastest racquet sport — the shuttlecock, being light and aerodynamically drag-heavy, has been recorded (in smashes) reaching speeds well over 300+ km/h, faster than any ball speed recorded in tennis, squash, or table tennis. Tennis serves and squash shots are fast but max out lower (around 250 km/h and below), and table tennis balls, while quick over short distances, don't reach comparable peak recorded speeds. Hence badminton is the standard answer to this general-knowledge question.
