Solution

The correct option is C

fixed


The lines of the batting crease are line segments and not lines because a line segment is a fixed portion of a line and this makes it measurable. Line, on the other hand, has no end-points and hence its length is not fixed, which makes it immeasurable. So any straight path that has fixed endpoints is a line segment.
