Solution

The correct option is C Pakistan
Pakistan has pioneered two great advances in bowling: the doosra and the reverse swing. Both the skills were developed in response to subcontinental conditions: the doosra to counter aggressive batsmen with heavy modern bats who were threatening to make finger-spin obsolete and reverse swing to move the ball in on dusty, unresponsive wickets under clear skies.
