The correct option is A True
Just think what all the possibilities are when a batsman is facing a delivery from a bowler. Either he gets out, plays a dot ball or score one or more runs. There is no other possibility. These events cover everything that can happen on that delivery. Yeah you are right. They are exhaustive.
