Step 1: Observe the front pose.
- The cricketer is holding the bat with his left hand on top and right hand lower down.
- The bat is leaning to the left side of his body.
- His right pad is slightly more visible in the front stance.
Step 2: Match these cues with profiles.
- (A): Bat positioned incorrectly (held vertical and too far back). Does not match the leaning bat seen in front view.
- (B): Bat positioned behind leg, and stance not aligned with front pose. Incorrect.
- (C): Bat resting slightly to the left side, matching the front stance where the bat is clearly tilted left. This aligns with the front view.
- (D): Bat tilted to the right, opposite to what is shown in the front pose. Incorrect.
Step 3: Conclude.
The correct side profile corresponding to the front view is option (C).
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{\text{C}}
