C Correct answer
Explanation

Zimbabwe holds the record for the lowest ODI score in cricket history, being bowled out for just 35 runs against Sri Lanka at Harare in 2004. This collapsed in just 18 overs. Sri Lanka's Chaminda Vaas took 6 wickets. For context, the second-lowest is also Zimbabwe (38 vs Sri Lanka in 2001). The claimed answer C (35) is correct. This tragic record has stood for nearly two decades. Note the question has a typo: 'how much is it' should be 'how many runs'.

AI explanation

Zimbabwe were bowled out for just 35 runs against Sri Lanka in a 2004 ODI, which stands as the lowest completed innings total in ODI history. It reflects a batting collapse against a strong bowling attack on a difficult pitch.
