If you refer to the short story “Next Term, We’ll Mash You” by Penelope Lively, I believe that the correct answer is C. The sportsmanlike values of the cricket.
In her short story “Next Term, We’ll Mash you”, Penelope Lively writes about the British educational system (boarding schools), social class and snobbery field, cruelty of children and indifference of parents to their children needs with the high point of the story being Charles's (protagonist) miserable fate at the school. She also writes about these themes in "A House Unlocked” and "Making It Up".
