Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Cricket.
The term Chinaman is linked to cricket. It refers to a left-arm unorthodox spin delivery, where a left-arm bowler spins the ball from the off side to the leg side for a right-handed batsman. The term originated from Ellis Achong, a West Indian cricketer of Chinese descent, who bowled this style. Over time, the cricketing community has moved away from using the term due to its potentially offensive connotation, preferring 'left-arm wrist spin' instead.
