Correct answer: B
Explanation
India won the World Cup in 1983, beating the West Indies in the final at Lord's.
1975 was the first World Cup of all, which the West Indies won.
India won again in 2011, and the Twenty20 World Cup in 2007, so there are several wins and a question must be read for which competition it means.
Worth noting
Three different cups and several years. The 1983 date belongs to the fifty-over World Cup, and the T20 competition is a separate tournament with its own history.
