Correct Answerसही उत्तर
B. Bharat RatnaB. भारत रत्न
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Bharat Ratna.
According to the source, the highest civilian award in India is Bharat Ratna.
The book then gives the civilian-award hierarchy as Bharat Ratna followed by Padma Vibhushan, Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri.
Therefore the source-supported revision order is: Bharat Ratna → Padma Vibhushan → Padma Bhushan → Padma Shri.
Among the options, Padma Bhushan and Padam Shri are lower in this hierarchy, while Jnanpith Award belongs to a different award context.
The source's wording ends the hierarchy statement with 'in the past'; this has not been silently reinterpreted or expanded.
The book does not provide the institution year of Bharat Ratna, eligibility criteria, first recipients or award design in this entry.
Therefore those details have not been added from outside knowledge.
This question also reinforces the previous source fact that Padma Vibhushan is the second-highest civilian award.
Quick revision: Highest Civilian Award = Bharat Ratna; Second = Padma Vibhushan.
Therefore option (b), Bharat Ratna, is correct.
सही उत्तर Bharat Ratna है। स्रोत के अनुसार India का highest civilian award Bharat Ratna है। Book इसके बाद civilian awards का hierarchy देती है: Bharat Ratna के बाद Padma Vibhushan, फिर Padma Bhushan और उसके बाद Padma Shri। इसलिए source-supported revision order है: Bharat Ratna → Padma Vibhushan → Padma Bhushan → Padma Shri। Options में Padma Bhushan और Padam Shri इस hierarchy में नीचे आते हैं, जबकि Jnanpith Award अलग award context से संबंधित है। Source hierarchy statement के अंत में 'in the past' wording use करती है; इसे silently reinterpret नहीं किया गया है। Book इस entry में Bharat Ratna की institution year, eligibility, first recipients या design की details नहीं देती, इसलिए outside information add नहीं की गई है। यह earlier fact को भी reinforce करता है कि Padma Vibhushan second-highest civilian award है। Quick revision: Highest Civilian Award = Bharat Ratna; Second = Padma Vibhushan। इसलिए विकल्प (b) सही उत्तर है।
