Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 28 inch.

The stumps, which are the three vertical posts that form part of the wicket, are each 22.86 centimeters (9 inches) in diameter and are placed in a row, with the top of the stumps being 71.1 centimeters above the playing surface. This measurement ensures consistency in the height of the stumps across different cricket pitches and matches.
