Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Approach Solution - 1

The SAFF Women's Championship is the main regional women's football tournament in South Asia, and the question is about which country won it five times running.

  1. Nepal: A regular participant and occasional finalist, but not a five-time consecutive champion.
  2. India: Built a run of five straight titles across the tournament's early editions, reflecting its stronger domestic women's football setup at the time.
  3. Sri Lanka: Has featured in the competition without assembling a comparable title streak.
  4. Bhutan: Takes part in regional tournaments but has not challenged for the title in this event.

Since India's dominance produced the five-title streak the question describes, the correct answer is India.

Approach Solution -2

Another way to approach this is to compare the state of women's football infrastructure in each of these countries around the time the tournament began, since that difference explains the streak referenced in the question.

  1. Nepal: Has fielded competitive squads over the years, but without the infrastructure edge needed to string together five straight titles.
  2. India: Had a comparatively more developed domestic women's football structure in the tournament's early years, which translated into five consecutive championship wins.
  3. Sri Lanka: Participates regularly but has not had the sustained strength required to dominate five editions in a row.
  4. Bhutan: Contests regional tournaments without having built the depth needed to seriously challenge for this title.

The gap in footballing infrastructure at the time is what let India's team win every one of the first five editions, explaining the streak.

Therefore, the correct answer is India.
