B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is Four runs. Sir Donald Bradman finished his Test career with an average of 99.94. Had he scored just 4 runs in his final innings (he was dismissed for 0), he would have reached the magical average of exactly 100. This remains one of cricket's most famous statistical near-misses.
