Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
For a sports-host question, identify the exact tournament edition and distinguish the host country from countries that hosted adjacent editions or field strong teams.
The deciding evidence is the governing federation's event record, which maps a year and edition to a venue and country.
Application
BWF's official tournament record lists the 30th BWF World Championships for 17–23 August 2026 in New Delhi, India. Therefore, the country linked to the 2026 edition is India.
Contrast
South Korea is a major badminton nation, but it is not the venue country in BWF's 2026 event record.
Paris, France hosted the 2025 edition, immediately before the 2026 event.
China hosted earlier editions, including Nanjing in 2018, rather than the 2026 edition.
Cross-check
The Indian Olympic Association independently announced that the 2026 championships would be held in New Delhi from 17–23 August, confirming the host country.
Result
Thus, India is the supported answer.
