Approach Solution -2
This can be answered by checking who among these four was actually associated with a government-led environmental initiative recognised by the United Nations in 2018, rather than by matching individual reputations alone.
- Option A: Shri Narendra Modi received the Champions of the Earth award in October 2018 for policy leadership in environmental protection, including work on renewable energy and the International Solar Alliance.
- Option B: Shri James Hansen is a well-known climate scientist, but he was not the recipient of this particular 2018 award.
- Option C: Shri Bill McKibben, an environmental author and activist, also did not receive this award in 2018.
- Option D: Smt. Vandana Shiva, an environmental activist, was likewise not the 2018 recipient of this honour.
Since the award in question was tied to policy leadership recognised by the UN in October 2018, the recipient was Shri Narendra Modi.
the correct answer is Shri Narendra Modi.
