This conclusion I does not follow because;.
The statement only tells us who made the runs, not how many spinners were in the team.
It's possible that only 2 spinners made all 160 runs, while the rest were non-spinners.
So, we cannot conclude anything about team composition.

Option D is correct, because the total numbers of spinners are not given instead of quantity of spinners the number of runs are given.

I don't agree with your answer because the total of team 200 out of 160 runs was made by sprinters.
Sprinters run 160 were 80% of the total runs of the team.
Sprinters run 160 were 80% of the total runs of the team.
