The correct answer is: B. Lawn Tennis

The Davis Cup is an international tennis competition between national teams. It is the world’s oldest annual team competition in international sport, having been first held in 1900. The competition is named after its founder, Dwight Davis, who was an American tennis player and lawyer.

The Davis Cup is played in a round-robin format, with each team playing three singles matches and one doubles match against each of the other teams in their group. The team with the most wins in each group advances to the next round. The final is played between the winners of the two semi-finals.

The Davis Cup is one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world. It is considered to be the unofficial world championship of men’s tennis. The current holders of the Davis Cup are Croatia.

The other options are incorrect because they are not associated with the game of lawn tennis. Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the centre of which is a 22-yard (20-metre) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps. The game proceeds when a player on the fielding team, called the bowler, “bowls” (propels) the ball from one end of the pitch towards the wicket at the other end. The batting side has one player at each end of the pitch, with the player at the opposite end of the pitch from the bowler aiming to strike the ball with a bat. The batting side scores runs when either the bowler unfairly bowls the ball to either side of the wicket (unfairly throwing the ball is called a “wide”), when either the ball reaches the boundary of the field, or when the fielding side commits an error. The fielding side’s aim is to prevent run-scoring and dismiss each player (so they are “out”, and are said to have “lost their wicket”).

Badminton is a racquet sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a racquet that is strung with cord to strike a shuttlecock, a feathered or plastic projectile that is much lighter and travels at much higher speeds than a tennis ball. Badminton is governed by the Badminton World Federation (BWF), which was established in 1934. The BWF organizes and sanctions international badminton tournaments, maintains world rankings for players and administers the sport’s rules.

Table tennis, also known as ping-pong, is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight ball back and forth using table tennis rackets. The game takes place on a hard table divided by a net. Except for the initial serve, the rules are generally as follows: players must allow a ball played towards them to bounce one time on their side of the table, and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side at least once. Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules.
