The correct answers are B - Lacrosse and C - Cricket
Both Lacrosse and Cricket are set to make a return to the Olympics more than a century after their debut.
Cricket was an official game in the 1900 Olympics, with only two teams participating at the time: Britain and France. Nowadays, the sport has more than two billion fans and a vast social media following. Cricket is particularly popular in India and the addition of the sport into the Olympics was heartily welcomed by Indian fans.
Lacrosse appeared in the 1904 Olympics in St. Louis and the 1908 Olympics in London. It later appeared as a demonstration sport in three Olympics: Amsterdam 1928, Los Angeles 1932 and London 1948.
The sport has deep roots in North American Indigenous cultures and traces its origins back to the 12th century. Its enduring significance within Native American traditions is exemplified by the Haudenosaunee Confederacy's active participation in World Lacrosse events.
