Question

Accepted Answer

The correct option is (4):
The correct match for all the given acronyms is found in option (4), which requires a precise knowledge of both national and international sports governing bodies. The acronym A.I.F.F. stands for the All India Football Federation, which is the official body responsible for organizing and promoting the sport of football in India, correctly matching (a) with (iv). F.I.N.A., which stands for *Fédération Internationale de Natation*, is the international governing body for all aquatic sports, including swimming, thus establishing the match (b) with (iii). T.T.F.I. is the Table Tennis Federation of India, the national organization for table tennis in the country, yielding the match (c) with (ii). Finally, H.I. is the established abbreviation for Hockey India, the body that administers the national sport of hockey within India, which correctly links (d) with (i).

The incorrect option is (1):
Option (1) makes a significant factual error by incorrectly associating A.I.F.F. with Hockey (i) and H.I. with Football (iv). A.I.F.F. is clearly the All India Football Federation, the governing body for football, while H.I. is the abbreviation for Hockey India, which governs hockey. Although the matches for F.I.N.A. (b-iii) and T.T.F.I. (c-ii) are factually correct, the reversal of the matches for the national bodies (a) and (d) invalidates the entire option. The test of knowledge here is to correctly identify all four acronyms.

The incorrect option is (2):
Option (2) is incorrect due to multiple factual errors concerning the primary sport of the governing bodies. It incorrectly matches A.I.F.F. with Hockey (i), repeating the error of Option (1). Furthermore, it incorrectly matches F.I.N.A. with Football (iv); F.I.N.A. governs swimming and other aquatic sports, not football. Lastly, it incorrectly associates H.I. (Hockey India) with Swimming (iii), demonstrating a confusion of the national sports bodies with the international aquatic one. Only the match for T.T.F.I. with Table Tennis (c-ii) is correct, which is insufficient to make the code accurate.

The incorrect option is (3):
Option (3) also fails because it contains two major errors in its pairings. While it correctly identifies A.I.F.F. with Football (iv), it incorrectly matches F.I.N.A. with Hockey (i). F.I.N.A., now known as World Aquatics, is the federation for swimming, not hockey. Additionally, the match (c) T.T.F.I. with Swimming (iii) is wrong, as T.T.F.I. is the Table Tennis Federation of India. The final pairing, H.I. with Table Tennis (ii), is also incorrect, as H.I. governs hockey. These numerous inaccuracies prevent the code from representing the correct relationship between the acronyms and the sports.
