E Correct answer
Explanation

Jim Laker took 19 wickets for 90 runs against Australia at Old Trafford in 1956, including 10 for 53 in the first innings and 9 for 37 in the second. This remains a record in Test cricket. Anil Kumble took 10 wickets in an innings but not 19 in the match. Muralitharan, Warne, and Richie Benaud never achieved this feat. The 'Muralidaran' spelling appears to be a typo.
