A
Charl Langeveldt
💡 Explanation:
In a 2007 ODI between South Africa and West Indies at Cape Town, Charl Langeveldt achieved a rare hat-trick by dismissing three West Indies batsmen on consecutive balls when they needed just 2 runs to win. This is one of cricket's most dramatic bowling achievements. Options A (Morne Morkel), B (Mitchel Johnson), and E (Ravindra Jadeja) are fast bowlers but not associated with this specific hat-trick.
