B Correct answer
Explanation

In limited overs cricket (ODI and T20), a minimum of 5 different bowlers must be used. This prevents teams from relying on just 2-3 bowlers and ensures more variety in bowling attacks. However, this applies when the full quota of overs is available - if rain reduces overs, the minimum can be lower proportionally.
