A Correct answer
Explanation

In cricket, fielding restrictions require a 30-yard circle around the pitch with only two fielders allowed outside this circle during the first 10 overs in ODIs. During mandatory powerplay overs (originally overs 1-15), at least 4 fielders must be inside the circle. This prevents teams from placing all fielders on the boundary.
