A
6 Runs
💡 Explanation:
According to Twenty20 cricket rules, if the fielding team doesn't start bowling the 20th over within 75 minutes, the batting side is awarded 6 extra runs for every whole over bowled after the 75-minute mark. This penalty was designed to ensure teams maintained an adequate over rate. The other options (4, 10, or variable runs) are incorrect.
