  • A25%
  • B26.25%
  • C30%
  • D42.86%

Step-by-Step Solution

The highest score is 96 and the team total is 320, so 96/320 = 0.30 = 30%. 42.86% divides by 224, the runs made by the other three batters - but a share of the TEAM total must include his own runs. 26.25% is 84/320, the second-highest score, and 25% assumes the four batters shared the runs equally.
Answer: C) 30%
