  2. B.Dr M. L. Jat
  3. C.Ms Anjali Sharma
  4. D.Dr Norman E Borlaug

Correct answer

A. Ms Ameena Nazreen A S

Explanation

The correct answer is Ms Ameena Nazreen A S. She won the Global Youth Institute Award, which carries a cash prize of US$500, at the World Food Prize Foundation event held in Des Moines, Iowa, in the United States. She was one of seven high school students from different parts of India who were selected through the NAAS-YUVA selection drive and who presented research papers on food-security challenges at the Global Youth Institute programme. Option B names Dr M. L. Jat, who is the President of the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences as well as Secretary of the Department of Agricultural Research and Education and Director General of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research. He addressed the roundtable on Agricultural Higher Education by video, but he was not the recipient of this youth award. Option C is an invented name and does not belong to the group of students honoured at the event. Option D names the scientist after whom the international dialogue itself is named, the Norman E Borlaug International Dialogue, so he is connected with the event's title rather than with the award given in October 2026.
