The correct answer is 80th.

The ranking was released around 13-14 January 2026.
India's position improved by five places from 85th in 2025 to 80th in 2026.
Interestingly, the source notes that India had also been ranked 80th in 2024 before slipping in 2025, so the 2026 result represents a recovery to its earlier position.
India shared the 80th rank with Niger and Algeria.
Indian passport holders had visa-free, visa-on-arrival or Electronic Travel Authorisation access to 55 destinations.
The source also provides several comparative global rankings.
Singapore ranked first for the third consecutive year and provided access to 192 destinations.
The United States returned to the top ten at 10th position with access to 179 destinations.
The United Arab Emirates achieved its highest-ever ranking at fifth position, with access to 184 destinations.
At the lower end, Afghanistan ranked 101st and had access to 24 destinations.
Pakistan ranked 98th with access to 31 destinations.
The source states that the data are based on International Air Transport Association statistics.
For examinations, students should distinguish between rank and destination-access numbers.
India = rank 80, access 55; Singapore = rank 1, access 192; UAE = rank 5, access 184; US = rank 10, access 179; Pakistan = rank 98, access 31; Afghanistan = rank 101, access 24.
The central current-affairs change for India is an improvement of five positions from 85th in 2025 to 80th in 2026.
Therefore option B is correct.
