C Correct answer
Explanation

Gary Kirsten scored 188* against UAE in the 1996 World Cup, which remains the highest individual score in World Cup history. While Sachin Tendulkar has the highest ODI score (200*), it was not in a World Cup. Saeed Anwar's 194 was also outside World Cup play. Sanath Jayasuriya, MS Dhoni, and Kapil Dev all scored memorable World Cup centuries but none reached Kirsten's record.
