Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
Quote-attribution questions are solved by matching a distinctive phrase to a verifiable speech or contemporaneous report and checking the setting in which it was used.
The speaker’s office alone is not enough; the phrase, its context, and the documented record must align.
Application
At the 2021 India–Singapore Mediation Summit, Chief Justice N. V. Ramana described ‘luxurious litigation’ as an Indian phenomenon that adds to judicial delay and argued for stronger use of mediation. This directly connects the quoted expression to N. V. Ramana.
Contrast and cross-check
Dipak Misra served as the 45th Chief Justice of India, but the documented 2021 summit statement is not attributed to him.
Ranjan Gogoi served as the 46th Chief Justice of India, but the documented 2021 summit statement is not attributed to him.
More than one of the above would require the statement to be independently attributable to at least two named people; the corroborated reports identify one speaker.
None of the above would require all three named attributions to fail; the contemporaneous record identifies N. V. Ramana.
Result
Therefore, the statement is attributed to N. V. Ramana.
