Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept: Mount Elbrus (5,642 m), in Russia's Caucasus range, is the highest peak in Europe and one of the 'Seven Summits' - the tallest mountain on each continent - that record-seeking mountaineers target. Individual summit achievements by climbers from a particular Indian state are common material for current-affairs GK questions.
Application: In August 2023, Rohtash Bishnoi, a mountaineer from Hisar, Haryana, successfully summited Mount Elbrus. This expedition was reported in contemporaneous news coverage and is also the answer credited in the official BSEH HTET 2023 (Computer Science branch) answer key.
Cross-check: Independent news reporting on Rohtash Bishnoi's August 2023 Mount Elbrus expedition matches the exam's official key exactly, and no other name among the options is documented as behind this specific climb - confirming Rohtash Bishnoi as the correct answer.
