The correct answer is option 4, Ross Taylor. He is the cricketer who retired from test cricket by taking a wicket on the last ball of his career.

First, let`s quickly analyze the other options to eliminate them. AB de Villiers, option 1, is a South African cricketer who retired from international cricket in 2018 but did not retire by taking a wicket on the last ball of his career. So, we can eliminate option 1.

Next, option 2, Michael Hussey, is an Australian cricketer who retired from international cricket in 2013. While he had a successful career, there is no record of him retiring by taking a wicket on the last ball. Therefore, we can eliminate option 2 as well.

Option 3, Quinton de Kock, is a current South African cricketer who is known for his batting skills. However, he is not known for retiring from test cricket by taking a wicket on the last ball. So, we can eliminate option 3 too.

This leaves us with option 4, Ross Taylor. Ross Taylor is a New Zealand cricketer who retired from test cricket by taking a wicket on the last ball of his career.
