Unbreakable is the autobiography of which Indian sportsperson?
- A.Sania Mirza
- B.Mary Kom
- C.P. T. Usha
- D.Saina Nehwal
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is B, Mary Kom. Unbreakable is the autobiography of the boxer Mary Kom from Manipur, and it describes her early life in a farming family, her training, her world championship titles and her return to the ring after becoming a mother.
Option A, Sania Mirza, wrote Ace Against Odds, a book about her tennis career written with her father and a journalist. Option C, P. T. Usha, the sprinter who narrowly missed an Olympic medal at Los Angeles in 1984, is not the author of this title. Option D, Saina Nehwal, is the subject of Playing to Win, an account of her badminton career, so all three distractors are real sporting names attached to different books, which is how such questions are built.
