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 possible to measure it. A line, on the other hand, has no endpoints and hence its length is not fixed, which makes it immeasurable. So any straight path that has fixed endpoints is a line segment.
