  2. B.Dr Sudha Yadav
  3. C.Dr Umashree
  4. D.Harivansh

Correct answer

A. Daggubati Purandeswari

Explanation

The correct answer is Daggubati Purandeswari, who holds the post of Chairperson of the CWP India Region. She is listed among those addressing the inaugural session, and at the closing session she presents the statement on the outcome of the conference. Option B names the Governor of Karnataka, who delivers the valedictory address, a different role on the same programme. Option C names the Deputy Chairman of the Karnataka Legislative Council, who proposes the vote of thanks at the inaugural session. Option D names the Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, who addresses both the inaugural and the closing sessions. Each of these is a real name from the programme, which is what makes the question worth attempting carefully; the examinable pairing is the office of Chairperson of the India Region with the person holding it.
