Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The Santosh Trophy has been the senior inter state football championship in India since 1941, run by the All India Football Federation. The question asks which of the four listed teams took the title in 2011.

  1. Punjab: Punjab is a traditional football power with a long list of Santosh Trophy wins, but its titles fall in other years and not in the 2010-11 season.
  2. West Bengal: Bengal is the most decorated team in the competition by a wide margin, with over thirty titles. It won the 2010-11 edition, keeping the trophy it had already won the season before.
  3. Goa: Goa produces many national level footballers and has won the trophy a few times, but its wins came earlier and it did not lift it in 2011.
  4. Railways: Railways is one of the institutional entries alongside Services. It is competitive but was not the champion that year.

West Bengal is the 2011 champion, which makes option (B) correct.

Let's summarize:

  • The Santosh Trophy is India's national championship for state and institutional teams.
  • West Bengal holds the record number of titles and won the edition that ended in 2011.

So the answer is West Bengal.
