A Correct answer
Explanation

A yorker is a delivery that pitches near or on the batsman's popping crease (the line marking the batsman's safe ground). This makes it difficult to hit because it arrives at the batsman's feet. Other options are different: googly (a deceptive spin delivery), dead ball (when play temporarily stops), and lost ball (when the ball cannot be found).
