Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
Awards-and-honours questions are solved by matching the awardee, award year, and recognized field.
A broad field such as Art should be cross-checked with the recipient’s specific contribution.
Application
The Government of India’s 2023 Padma Awards list records Subhadra Devi as a Padma Shri awardee in Art from Bihar.
A Press Information Bureau profile identifies her specific contribution as preserving papier-mâché art, which she had practised for more than 65 years.
Contrast
Architect: a profession concerned with planning and designing buildings and other built environments.
Space scientist: a profession concerned with space-related phenomena, technology, or missions.
Papier-mâché artist: a craft practitioner who creates forms from moulded paper pulp or layered paper.
More than one of the above: this would require at least two listed occupational descriptions to apply.
None of the above: this would require every listed occupational description to be inapplicable.
Result
Subhadra Devi is known as a papier-mâché artist.
