Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the question.
The question refers to several prestigious tournaments or cups. We need to identify which sport these tournaments are associated with.
Step 2: Analyzing the options.
(A) Tennis: The Federation Cup is related to tennis, but the World Cup and other cups mentioned are not.
(B) Volleyball: Volleyball does not have these particular cups.
(C) Basketball: Basketball tournaments are different from the cups listed.
(D) Cricket: Correct — The Federation Cup, World Cup, Allywyn International Trophy, and Challenge Cup are all associated with cricket.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (D) Cricket, as these cups are awarded in the sport of cricket.

Answer 2

Since this question lists four specific trophies together, the best approach is to identify the sport each trophy is individually associated with and see which sport ties all of them together.

1. Tennis: Tennis does have its own version of a "Federation Cup" (the women's international team tennis championship, now renamed the Billie Jean King Cup), which makes this option tempting. However, tennis has no competition called the "Allywyn International Trophy" or a "Challenge Cup" in the sense used here, so tennis cannot account for all four names together.
2. Volleyball: None of these four trophy names are historically associated with volleyball tournaments, so this option can be ruled out entirely.
3. Basketball: Similarly, none of these specific cup names correspond to recognized basketball competitions.
4. Cricket: All four of these names correspond to domestic and international cricket tournaments that have existed historically - the Federation Cup and Challenge Cup being domestic Indian cricket tournaments, and the World Cup and Allywyn International Trophy being cricket competitions from the sport's tournament history. Cricket is the only sport where all four names fit together.

Only cricket accounts for every name in the list.

Therefore, the correct answer is Cricket.
