A Correct answer
Explanation

According to Law 25 of Cricket, if a batsman retires because of illness, injury, or any other unavoidable cause, they are recorded as 'Retired - not out'. 'Retired Hurt' is the common terminology used, but 'Retired - not out' is the formal scorebook entry status. 'Retired - out' applies only if they retire for other reasons.
