CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Both are held every four years.
The Asian Games fall in the even years between Olympic years, and the Commonwealth Games in the same year as the Asian Games.
Postponements have shifted particular editions, but the four-year cycle is the rule.
Worth noting
A four-year cycle is the norm for multi-sport games; world championships in individual sports are the ones that vary, and many are every two years or annual.
