Correct answer: B

Test cricket is the longest format, played over five days with two innings a side.
A One Day International is fifty overs a side in a single day, and a Twenty20 twenty overs a side.
The Hundred is a domestic competition in England rather than an international format.

Worth noting

The formats descend in length in the order Test, ODI, T20. The Hundred is the outlier here, because it is a domestic competition rather than an international format.
