Solution

The correct option is B Salix
Wood commonly used for making cricket bat is salix. Blade of cricket bat is made of Salix and handle is made of Morus alba. It is a medium-sized to large deciduous tree growing up to 10-30 m tall, with a trunk up to 1 m diameter and an irregular, often-leaning crown. The bark is grey-brown, and deeply fissured in older trees. The shoots in the typical species are grey-brown to green-brown. The wood is tough, strong, and light in weight, but has minimal resistance to decay. The stems from coppiced and pollarded plants are used for basket-making. The bark tannin was used in the past for tanning leather. The wood is used to make cricket bats.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
