B Correct answer
Explanation

Zinc oxide is the white cream (often called 'zinc' or 'white sunscreen') applied by cricketers on their faces, specifically under the eyes and on the nose. It provides sun protection by reflecting UV rays and also helps reduce glare from sunlight. Vaseline is a petroleum jelly used for moisturizing, while nitrous oxide is a gas used as anesthetic - not applied on skin.
