Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is 1954.
According to the source, the Bharat Ratna is the highest civilian award of the Republic of India and was instituted on 2 January 1954.
The book further states that the award is conferred in recognition of exceptional service or performance of the highest order, without distinction of race, occupation, position or sex.
Therefore the complete source-supported revision chain is: Bharat Ratna → highest civilian award of the Republic of India → instituted on 2 January 1954 → exceptional service
performance of the highest order → no distinction of race, occupation, position or sex.
The years 1956, 1950 and 1953 are distractors.
This question repeats a closely related fact appearing earlier in the book, where 1954 was also identified as the institution year.
Since duplicate questions in the source are being preserved, this record has not been removed.
Quick revision: Bharat Ratna = highest civilian award = instituted 2 January 1954 according to source.
Therefore option (c) is correct.

सही उत्तर 1954 है। स्रोत के अनुसार Bharat Ratna Republic of India का highest civilian award है और इसे 2 January 1954 को instituted किया गया था। Book आगे बताती है कि यह award exceptional service या highest order के performance की recognition में दिया जाता है और इसमें race, occupation, position या sex का distinction नहीं किया जाता। इसलिए complete source-supported revision chain है: Bharat Ratna → Highest Civilian Award → 2 January 1954 → Exceptional Service/Performance of Highest Order → Race, Occupation, Position या Sex का Distinction नहीं। 1956, 1950 और 1953 distractors हैं। यह fact पुस्तक में पहले भी closely related question के रूप में आया है। Source duplicates को preserve करने के नियम के कारण इसे हटाया नहीं गया है। Quick revision: Bharat Ratna = 2 January 1954 according to source। इसलिए विकल्प (c) सही है।
