Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understand the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction
The Pulitzer Prize for Fiction is awarded annually to an American author for distinguished fiction, typically a novel, dealing with American life.
Step 2: Analyze the options
- Option (1): Colson Whitehead has won the Pulitzer before (e.g., for "The Underground Railroad" in 2017), making him a plausible candidate.
- Option (2): Donna Tartt, known for "The Goldfinch" (Pulitzer winner in 2014), is another strong candidate.
- Option (3): Amitav Ghosh, an Indian author, is less likely to win as the Pulitzer typically awards American authors.
- Option (4): Jesmyn Ward has also won the Pulitzer (for "Salvage the Bones" in 2011), making her a contender.
