• C. Dhanwantari Award
• D. Kalinga Award

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Each award listed here honours a different discipline, so the question is really about matching the award to its correct field.

1. Bhatnagar Award: This is India's top award for science and technology research, not agriculture.
2. Borlaug Award: Named after Norman Borlaug, the scientist credited with the Green Revolution, this award specifically recognises work in agriculture.
3. Dhanwantari Award: This honours contribution to medicine and medical science.
4. Kalinga Award: A UNESCO prize for popularising science, unrelated to farming or crop research.

Since the question asks for the agriculture-related award, the correct choice is B, the Borlaug Award.
