Explanation

Len Hutton of England was indeed given out obstructing the field against South Africa in 1951 at The Oval. This remains the only instance of a batsman being dismissed this way in Test cricket history. The other options - Ponting, Steve Waugh, and Ganguly - were never given out for obstructing the field in Tests.
