Who amongst the following are members of the Jury to select the recipient of 'Gandhi Peace Prize'? I. The President of India II. The Prime Minister of India III. The Chief Justice of India IV. The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Select the correct answer using the code given below.
A
II and IV only
B
I, II and III
C
II, III and IV
Correct Answer
D
I and III only
Explanation
Option (C) is correct because the Jury for the Gandhi Peace Prize is chaired by the Prime Minister and includes the Chief Justice of India, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, and two other eminent members (such as the Speaker of the Lok Sabha). Option (B) is a common pitfall because while the President of India confers the award, they are not a member of the selection Jury. The core concept being tested is the institutional composition of high-level committees responsible for prestigious national and international awards in India.
