Answer

A is true).

  • Cricket matches are played on a rectangular outfield with a central pitch (B is true).
  • Runs are commonly scored by running between the two sets of wickets (C is true).
  • Teams switch innings (not sides in the fielding/batting sense) when the batting team is all out, but sides (fielding positions/batting order) don't switch in this specific way; the core error is that the statement misrepresents when teams transition, as the fielding and batting roles swap when the batting innings ends, not that "sides" switch when all batsmen are dismissed.
