The Correct Option is B

Approach Solution - 1

India's women's football team won the SAFF Women's Championship in every edition from its inception in 2010 through 2019, a run of five straight titles built on consistent training and strong squad depth.

  1. India: Winner of all five editions in that stretch.
  2. Nepal: Frequently the runner-up, not the five-time winner.
  3. Sri Lanka: A regular participant but without this record.
  4. Bhutan: Has not won the tournament in this period.

India is therefore the correct answer.

Approach Solution -2

India's unbeaten run in this tournament is best explained by looking at what specifically sustained its dominance across five straight editions, then checking that the other teams lacked the same factors.

  1. India: Benefited from consistent grassroots training programmes and a core of experienced players such as Bala Devi, Ashalata Devi and Kamala Devi, factors that together sustained its form across all five championship editions.
  2. Nepal: Competitive but without the same depth of experienced players across five straight tournaments, which is reflected in its repeated runner-up finishes rather than titles.
  3. Sri Lanka: Lacking a comparable long-term development programme in women's football, it has not reached the same level of sustained success.
  4. Bhutan: Also without the sustained infrastructure or player pool needed to challenge for the title even once in this period.

The sustained grassroots strength and player continuity behind India's performance explains its five consecutive titles.

So the correct answer is India.
