- A.University of Oxford
- B.Harvard University
- C.Duke University
- D.University of Cambridge
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Duke University, which is in the United States. Narendra Bhooshan is a graduate in Electronics, and he went on to earn a Master’s degree in International Development Policy from Duke University. His professional training has also included programmes on public finance, on infrastructure and on preparedness for a changing climate, subjects that fit the work of the environment ministry he now heads as Secretary. Options A and D name the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge, both in the United Kingdom, and neither awarded him this degree. Option B names Harvard University, which is in the United States like Duke but is not the university named in his academic record. Therefore option C is the only correct choice here.
