A.	Swimming	B.	Cricket
C.	Water polo	D.	Lawn Tennis

Answer and Explanation

Answer:Cricket

Explanation:
The odd name of the popping crease refers to the early history of the game of cricket, when batsmen used to have to 'pop' their bats into a small hole that was located in the middle of the crease for a run to count. For a player to run a batsman out, he had to pop the ball into the hole before the bat was grounded in it.
