The correct answer in this question is option 3, which means that Garfield Sobers and Matthew Hayden have held the record for scoring the highest number of runs in an inning in a cricket test match at different times.

Option 1 states that only Garfield Sobers has held this record. Garfield Sobers, a West Indian cricketer, held the record for scoring the highest number of runs in an inning in a test match for 36 years. He achieved this feat in 1958 when he scored 365 runs against Pakistan.

Option 2 states that only Matthew Hayden and Zaheer Abbas have held this record. While Zaheer Abbas, a Pakistani cricketer, had a successful career, he did not hold the record for scoring the highest number of runs in an inning in a test match at any point.

Option 4 states that all three players - Garfield Sobers, Matthew Hayden, and Zaheer Abbas - have held this record. However, as mentioned earlier, Zaheer Abbas did not hold this record.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option 3 as it correctly identifies Garfield Sobers and Matthew Hayden as the players who have held the record for scoring the highest number of runs in an inning in a cricket test
