Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Concept: Sports-personality GK questions test whether you can match an athlete's real achievements to the specific sport or discipline they are known for, not just recognise them as a well-known Indian sportsperson.

Application: Among the four names listed, exactly one is known for badminton: P. V. Sindhu, an Olympic medallist (silver at Rio 2016, bronze at Tokyo 2020) and a multiple-time BWF World Championship medallist in badminton.

Distinguishing the others: The other three are well-known Indian sportswomen, but each belongs to a different discipline:

  • Sania Mirza — tennis (multiple Grand Slam doubles and mixed-doubles titles)

  • Dipa Karmakar — artistic gymnastics (first Indian gymnast in an Olympic final, known for the Produnova vault)

  • Duti Chand — athletics/sprinting (100m sprinter and national record holder)

Cross-check: Cross-checking by sporting federation confirms this: Sindhu competes under the Badminton Association of India (BAI) on the BWF World Tour, while the other three are affiliated with the tennis, gymnastics, and athletics federations respectively — only Sindhu's federation is badminton.
