Ronaldo scored 42 goals for Manchester United in the 2007-08 season, which was his most prolific campaign at the club. This total included 31 Premier League goals and 11 across all competitions. 40 and 43 are plausible but incorrect distractors.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, known as 'The Baby Faced Assassin,' became the coach of Manchester United's reserve team after retiring as a player.

Sharp was Manchester United's shirt sponsor from 1983 to 2000, before Vodafone (2000-2006) and then AIG (2006-2010). Sharp was a Japanese electronics company, and their sponsorship coincided with United's rise to domestic and European dominance under Sir Alex Ferguson.

Fred the Red is the official mascot of Manchester United, a red devil character who appears at matches and club events. The name plays on the club's nickname 'The Red Devils', but Fred the Red specifically refers to the mascot character, not just the nickname.

The second tied Test match in cricket history took place in Chennai (then Madras) in 1986 between India and Australia. It was only the second tied Test ever played, following the first tied Test between Australia and West Indies in Brisbane in 1960. The Chepauk stadium witnessed this historic match where both teams ended with exactly the same score.

The correct answer is B: 4. Sir Donald Bradman needed 4 runs in his final innings to finish with a Test average of exactly 100. He had scored 6,996 runs at that point, and 4 more would have made it 7,000 in 70 innings (average 100). He was famously dismissed for 0, leaving him with an average of 99.94.
