A Correct answer
Explanation

Len Hutton was indeed given out 'obstructing the field' in a Test match against South Africa at The Oval in 1951. The ball hit his bat and rebounded onto the stumps while he was playing at it. This remains the only instance of 'obstructing the field' dismissal in Test cricket history. Inzamam-ul-Haq was given out obstructing the field in an ODI, not a Test match.
