C
Correct answer
Explanation
Kapil Dev's famous 9 for 83 against the West Indies in 1983 at Ahmedabad remains one of the greatest bowling performances in Test history, especially remarkable because India lost that match. This spell is often cited as the best individual bowling performance in a losing cause in Test cricket. The West Indies batting lineup was formidable during that era, making the achievement even more extraordinary.
