Show Hint
- Bobby Jindal
- Nikki Haley
- Kumar P Barve
Kamala Harris
The Correct Option is B
Approach Solution - 1
Nikki Haley was appointed as the US Ambassador to the United Nations by President Donald Trump in January 2017. She served as a key figure in shaping the US's foreign policy and representing American interests at the UN. Nikki Haley is of Indian descent and served as the Governor of South Carolina before her appointment as Ambassador. Why option (B) fits: Nikki Haley's appointment was widely recognized and is significant in the context of Indian-American representation in the US government. Eliminations: Bobby Jindal, Kumar P Barve, and Kamala Harris, while influential Indian-Americans, have not held the position of US Ambassador to the UN. Thus, the correct answer is Nikki Haley.
Approach Solution -2
The question can be resolved by matching each name to the actual position each individual held around the relevant period.
- Option A (Bobby Jindal): Bobby Jindal served as the Governor of Louisiana and later ran in the Republican presidential primary, but he was never appointed US Ambassador to the United Nations.
- Option B (Nikki Haley): Nikki Haley, who had earlier served as the Governor of South Carolina, was nominated by President Donald Trump and confirmed as the US Ambassador to the United Nations, taking office in January 2017.
- Option C (Kumar P Barve): Kumar P Barve is a Maryland state legislator and has held no position related to the United Nations.
- Option D (Kamala Harris): Kamala Harris was a US Senator from California at the time and later became Vice President; she never held the role of UN Ambassador.
Only Nikki Haley's career trajectory matches the position described, confirming option (B).
Hence, the correct answer is Nikki Haley.
