C Correct answer
Explanation

A googly is a deceptive delivery where a leg-spinner uses the back of the hand to make the ball spin opposite to a normal leg-break. To the batsman, it appears like an off-spinning delivery (turning from off to leg), but actually it spins from leg to off, creating confusion. The doosra is an off-spinner's version, while arm ball is a straight delivery from an off-spinner.
