Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is 2016.
According to the source, UNESCO included Yoga in its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2016.
The explanation further describes UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage framework as including intangible elements that help demonstrate the diversity of cultural heritage and raise awareness about its importance.
The book states that UNESCO maintains three lists under its Intangible Cultural Heritage banner: the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding, the List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and the Register of Good Safeguarding Practices.
Therefore the source-supported revision chain is: Yoga → UNESCO → Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity → 2016.
Related source facts: UNESCO's framework highlights cultural diversity and awareness, and the book identifies three lists
registers under the Intangible Cultural Heritage banner.
The years 2014, 2018 and 2015 are distractors.
Quick revision: Yoga entered UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2016 according to source.
Therefore option (b) is correct.

सही उत्तर 2016 है। स्रोत के अनुसार UNESCO ने Yoga को 2016 में Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity की list में शामिल किया। Explanation बताती है कि UNESCO की Intangible Cultural Heritage व्यवस्था में ऐसे intangible elements शामिल होते हैं जो cultural heritage की diversity को प्रदर्शित करने और उसके importance के प्रति awareness बढ़ाने में सहायता करते हैं। Book के अनुसार UNESCO इस banner के अंतर्गत तीन lists/registers रखता है: Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding की list, Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity की list और Register of Good Safeguarding Practices। इसलिए source-supported revision chain है: Yoga → UNESCO → Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity → 2016। 2014, 2018 और 2015 distractors हैं। Quick revision: Yoga + UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage = 2016 according to source। इसलिए विकल्प (b) सही है।
