• C. (A)-(II); (B)-(I); (IV); (D)-(III)
• D. (A)-(III); (B)-(II); (C)-(I); (D)-(IV)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve the question, we need to match the descriptions in List I with the correct names in List II based on well-known achievements in Indian sports. Let's analyze each item one by one:

1. Item A: "Only Indian to win two individual Olympic Medals in 2012" - This achievement belongs to Sushil Kumar, who won a bronze medal in wrestling at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and a silver medal in wrestling at the 2012 London Olympics.
2. Item B: "The first Indian and only player from his sports to compete at seven Olympic Games" - This describes Leander Paes, the renowned Indian tennis player who competed in seven consecutive Olympic Games from 1992 to 2016.
3. Item C: "The youngest Indian participant at the 2000 Sydney Olympics to win Gold Medal for his country." - This description does not directly match anyone in the given List II because no Indian won a gold medal in the 2000 Olympics. However, the closest appropriate match, considering notable achievements in young age and Olympics participation, might be regarding Abhinav Bindra who later won the gold at the Beijing Olympics 2008 in shooting.
4. Item D: "The first Indian to be World Champion in any sport and to become recipient of both Arjuna and Dronacharya Award." - This statement matches Wilson Jones, a celebrated billiards champion, although he was not primarily awarded the Dronacharya Award, making it mismatched overall in peculiarities.

Now, matching them, we find the best choices based on available names and descriptions:

• (A) with (IV) - Sushil Kumar for two Olympic Medals
• (B) with (I) - Leander Paes for seven Olympic Games
• (C) with (II) - Based on an error or other logic ≈ Abhinav Bindra
• (D) with (III) - Error recognition ≈ Wilson Jones

Therefore, given the constraints and context provided, the most appropriate answer is:

Option: (A)-(IV); (B)-(I); (II); (D)-(III)
