CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The International Cricket Council governs the international game and runs the World Cups.
The BCCI and the ECB are national boards, for India and for England and Wales.
The MCC is a private club that owns Lord's, and it still owns and revises the Laws of Cricket — which is a real role, but not governance of the international game.
Worth noting
The MCC is the genuinely interesting distractor here. It writes the Laws but does not run the sport, and that split between rule-making and governance is unusual.
