Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: Kapil Kapoor — Literature and Education is the correct match for the 2023 Padma Awards.
Reason: Kapil Kapoor is a literary scholar and educationist, so the field Literature and Education accurately describes his contribution.
Deepak Dhar – Art: Incorrect. Deepak Dhar is known for his work in physics (statistical physics), so his domain is science rather than art.
Zakir Hussain – Public Affairs: Incorrect. The Zakir Hussain referenced here is a celebrated musician (tabla), so his field is music/arts, not public affairs.
Srinivasa Varadhan – Public Affairs: Incorrect. Srinivasa Varadhan is a mathematician noted for probability theory, so his field is mathematics/science, not public affairs.
Kapil Kapoor – Literature and Education: Correct. He is a scholar of literature and education, which matches the field listed.
Tip: For matching questions about awards and fields, identify each person's main profession or contribution (for example, scientist, musician, scholar) and match that to the award category.
