B Correct answer
Explanation

Vikram Solanki was the first player to be used as a 'super-sub' in international cricket when this experimental rule was briefly introduced in 2005. The super-sub rule allowed teams to replace a player and use the substitute as a fully active player. Paul Nixon, Chris Read, and the others were not the first. The rule was abandoned after a short trial period.
