A Correct answer
Explanation

A waft is a loose, non-committal batting stroke typically played to deliveries pitched short and wide outside off stump. The bat moves lazily at the ball without firm intent or footwork. This differs from a proper drive or cut - it's more of a hopeful wave at the ball, hence the term 'waft'.
