Correct Answerसही उत्तर

D. Nirmal Jeet Singh SekhonD. निर्मल जीत सिंह सेखों

Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is Nirmal Jeet Singh Sekhon.
According to the source, as of January 2018, Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, who was awarded the Param Vir Chakra posthumously in 1971, was the only Indian Air Force officer to have been honoured with the medal.
Therefore the complete source-supported revision chain is: Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon — Indian Air Force — Param Vir Chakra — awarded posthumously — 1971 — only IAF officer to receive the medal as of January 2018 according to the source.
Karam Singh, Somnath Singh and Yogendra Singh Yadav are the other options.
The question spells the name 'Nirmal Jeet Singh Sekhon', the printed solution appears as 'Nirmaljit Singh Sekho', and the explanation uses 'Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon'.
These are source spelling
transcription variants; the intended person and option are unambiguous.
The dated phrase 'as of January 2018' has been retained because the book frames the claim that way.
Therefore option (d) is correct according to the source.

सही उत्तर Nirmal Jeet Singh Sekhon है। स्रोत के अनुसार January 2018 तक Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon Param Vir Chakra से सम्मानित होने वाले एकमात्र Indian Air Force officer थे। Book बताती है कि उन्हें 1971 में यह सम्मान posthumously दिया गया था। इसलिए complete source-supported revision chain है: Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon — Indian Air Force — Param Vir Chakra — Posthumous Award — 1971 — January 2018 तक source के अनुसार Only IAF Officer to receive the medal। Karam Singh, Somnath Singh और Yogendra Singh Yadav अन्य options हैं। Question में 'Nirmal Jeet Singh Sekhon', printed solution में 'Nirmaljit Singh Sekho' और explanation में 'Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon' spelling है। ये source transcription/spelling variations हैं और intended option स्पष्ट है। 'As of January 2018' dated wording को preserve किया गया है। इसलिए विकल्प (d) सही उत्तर है।
