Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
For a collaborative scientific achievement, identify the participating institution from the project's primary announcement rather than relying on a similar research area elsewhere.
The decisive clues here are 3D bioprinting, human donor corneal tissue, and the named Hyderabad research collaboration.
Application
The institutional account states that researchers from L V Prasad Eye Institute, IIT Hyderabad, and CSIR–CCMB jointly developed the 3D-printed cornea and transplanted it into a rabbit eye.
Contrast
IIT Madras is not named in the reported collaboration.
IIT Kanpur is not named in the reported collaboration.
IIT Delhi is not named in the reported collaboration.
Cross-check
The official IIT Hyderabad newsletter uses the abbreviation IITH and describes the same collaboration with L V Prasad Eye Institute and CCMB, confirming the institution by name.
Result
The institution asked for is IIT Hyderabad.
