- D.Fuelling Growth, Securing the Future
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 'Unlocking Innovation. Securing Energy. Shaping Tomorrow.' This is the theme announced for the fifth edition of India Energy Week, which will be held in Kolkata in the last week of January. The theme frames the programme, which will cover oil and gas, LNG, refining and petrochemicals, hydrogen, biofuels, digitalisation and artificial intelligence, along with other emerging areas of the energy sector. Options B, C and D are plausible-sounding slogans but none of them was announced for this edition. Because the conclave falls early in the calendar year, it is described as the first major global energy gathering of the year, and its stated purpose is to explore how energy can be kept secure, affordable and sustainable, with particular attention to the countries of the global South. Themes of flagship events are a standard question in current affairs papers.
