Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Concept: A book carrying a phrase like “a year in office” in its title is almost always a personal account written BY the office-holder himself, marking a specific milestone in that person's own tenure — so the author is identified by matching the book's stated milestone to the correct person's actual term dates and the office it refers to, not merely by general political fame.

Application: “Moving On, Moving Forward: A Year in Office” was released in September 2018 to mark one year since M. Venkaiah Naidu took charge as the Vice President of India (he assumed office in August 2017). The book compiles his speeches and reflections from that first year, and it was released by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Vice President's official residence — Naidu is the author.

Cross-check: None of the other leaders held the Vice-Presidential office this book documents, and none released a memoir under this specific title — Manmohan Singh served as Prime Minister, Arun Jaitley as Finance Minister, and Manohar Parrikar as Goa's Chief Minister/Defence Minister, so this exact “year in office” milestone does not belong to any of them.
