We have to analyze the nature of the games before answering the questions. '
Snake and ladder' is a game based on luck. Past performance in the game cannot be held as a reflection of one's true potential.
'Shooting' is a game extremely dependent on the skills of the player. Therefore, the past performance of the player has a huge implication on how the player might perform in the future. In 'cricket' we have details only about the player hitting the ball. A team cannot be composed using batsmen alone. Therefore, the past performance in this sport, though reflective of the person's abilities, cannot be used to form a good team since we lack some crucial data.
Since we lack any information regarding the performance of the players in other skills (fielding, bowling), we cannot form a team using the given data alone. Also, the table gives details only about the number of times a batsman hit a ball. The number of balls a batsman faced is unknown (only the maximum possible number of balls that a batsman could have faced is given as 100). We lack enough data to form a team and hence, option D is the right answer.
