Correct Answer: Option B
The National Sports Awards are presented annually to recognize excellence in sports.
- Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award: Awarded for the most spectacular and outstanding performance by a sportsperson over the previous four years. Hence, pair 1 is correctly matched.
- Arjuna Award: Awarded for good performance over the previous four years along with qualities of leadership, sportsmanship, and discipline. It is not for lifetime achievement. Hence, pair 2 is not correctly matched.
- Dronacharya Award: Awarded to coaches for outstanding and meritorious work on a consistent basis, enabling sportspersons to excel in international events. Hence, pair 3 is correctly matched.
- Rashtriya Khel Protsahan Puruskar: Awarded to corporate entities, sports control boards, and NGOs for their role in sports promotion and development, not to sportspersons after retirement.
Therefore, only two pairs are correctly matched.
