Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
The Khelo India Youth Games (KIYG) is the Government of India's national multi-sport competition for under-17 and under-18 athletes, organised every year by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. Each edition is hosted by a single state, announced in advance, and the host rotates from year to year.
Applying it here
The edition tested as the 'Khelo India Youth Games 2024' was the 6th edition, held from 19 to 31 January 2024. Tamil Nadu was the host state, with events staged across Chennai, Madurai, Tiruchirappalli and Coimbatore. So the host state is Tamil Nadu.
Why the other states do not fit
Kerala: hosted the 35th National Games (2015), a different multi-sport event; it has not hosted the Khelo India Youth Games.
Goa: hosted the 37th National Games (2023), a separate event, not the Khelo India Youth Games.
Gujarat: hosted the 36th National Games (2022), a different event, not the Khelo India Youth Games.
Cross-check
This is confirmed by official Khelo India records and contemporary reporting of the 2024 edition, all of which name Tamil Nadu as the host.
