Correct Answer

A. Walk

Explanation

If you get 4 balls while batting, it means that the pitcher has thrown 4 pitches outside the strike zone and you did not swing at any of them. As a result, you are awarded a walk and are allowed to advance to first base without having to hit the ball. This is a positive outcome for the batter as it gives them a free base and puts them in a better position to score a run.
