Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
CONCEPT
Current-affairs appointment questions should be resolved by matching the exact person, office, organization, and date to an authoritative institutional announcement.
A primary release from the appointing organization takes priority over secondary summaries and over similarities in names or job titles.
APPLICATION
NASA announced on 30 March 2023 that it had established the Moon to Mars Program Office and that Amit Kshatriya would serve as the agency’s first head of that office, effective immediately.
CONTRAST
Sumit Kshatriya is a different name and is not the person identified in NASA’s announcement.
K. Sivan is known for leading ISRO, not for this NASA appointment.
Because only one named person matches the official announcement, the set-level claims “More than one of the above” and “None of the above” do not apply.
RESULT
Therefore, the person appointed as the first head of NASA’s Moon to Mars Program Office was Amit Kshatriya.
