Question

• A. Badminton
• B. Cricket
• C. Chess
• D. Weight Lifting

Hint:

She is one of India's youngest female Grandmasters in a board game, not a field sport.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Questions like this one test whether you can match an Indian sportsperson's name to their actual field, based on well known career facts.

1. Badminton: India's leading badminton names are players like Saina Nehwal and P. V. Sindhu, not Koneru Humpy.
2. Cricket: Cricket in India is dominated by names like Mithali Raj and Smriti Mandhana, so this option does not fit Humpy.
3. Chess: Correct. Koneru Humpy is a celebrated Indian chess Grandmaster, one of the youngest women ever to earn that title, with major Olympiad and World Rapid Championship credentials.
4. Weight Lifting: Indian weightlifting is associated with athletes such as Mirabai Chanu, a completely different discipline from chess.

Given her record as a Grandmaster and Olympiad player, Koneru Humpy's sport is chess, matching option (C).

Let's summarize:

• Koneru Humpy holds the Grandmaster title in chess.
• The other three sports belong to different well known Indian athletes.

So chess is the correct answer.
