Answer: (C)

Joining the International Olympic Committee is about taking on a leadership role in the global Olympic movement. Nita Ambani became the first Indian woman to join the IOC, after being elected in 2016. Her appointment recognized India’s growing involvement in sport administration and her work through the Reliance Foundation to promote sport and youth wellness. Mary Kom and P. V. Sindhu are celebrated Olympians, but they are not IOC members. The name Neeta Ambani is simply a variant spelling of Nita Ambani in this option.
