Correct Answer

Explanation

In cricket, if the batsman hits the ball with their bat or hand/glove holding the bat, and the ball is caught by a fielder, wicket keeper or bowler before it touches the ground, then the batsman is considered to be caught out. This means that the fielding team has successfully taken a wicket and the batsman must leave the field. It is important to note that the ball must be caught on the full, meaning before it bounces on the ground. If the ball bounces before being caught, then the batsman cannot be caught out. Therefore, option b) is the correct answer.
