- A.Dr. Vikram Sarabhai
- B.Dr. Homi Bhabha
- C.Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
- D.Dr. Raja Ramanna
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Dr. Homi Bhabha, whom Dr. Jitendra Singh recalled as the architect of India's nuclear programme, saying that his vision continues to guide a journey built around peaceful application and national development. Options A, C and D name none of the figures mentioned in these remarks, and are included only as plausible distractors from Indian science. The Minister's point was that India has consistently pursued atomic energy for peaceful uses and for national development, and that this commitment stays central to the country's approach even as it widens its capabilities to meet newer developmental and technological needs. Candidates should remember the name along with the stand taken in the same breath, that the nuclear programme is dedicated to peaceful purposes and not to warfare, because the two facts are usually tested together.
