C Correct answer
Explanation

This refers to the 1996 World Cup semi-final between India and Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. After Sachin Tendulkar was run out for 65, India collapsed and the crowd became violent, throwing bottles and setting fires on the field. The police had to intervene and the match was awarded to Sri Lanka by default - one of the darkest days in Indian cricket history.
