Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
'Play Pass' is a paid subscription for Android devices offered by the company that runs the Google Play Store. A subscriber gets a curated catalogue of apps and games that are completely free of advertisements and in-app purchases.
Application
The service described in the question - access to over 1,000 Android apps and games without ads - is Google Play Pass. It was announced for India by Google, the operator of the Play Store, and is delivered through the Google Play app.
Contrast
Microsoft offers Game Pass on Windows/Xbox, not an Android Play Store subscription.
Dell makes computer hardware and runs no app/game subscription.
Tata is a conglomerate with no Android app-marketplace product.
YouTube's paid tier is YouTube Premium - a video service, not the apps-and-games Play Pass.
Result
The tech giant behind 'Play Pass' is Google.
