Correct answer: B

The Sahitya Akademi Award goes to the most outstanding original book by an Indian author in a recognised language.
The Jnanpith selected a work for its first seventeen awards but has taken the author's entire contribution into account since the eighteenth.
So only one of the two is still an award for a book.

Worth noting

A writer can hold both, and the citations will read quite differently: one names a title, the other a life's work. That is the practical consequence of the rule change.
