CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The scheme supports a small group of athletes identified as realistic medal prospects.
Support covers training, equipment, coaching and international exposure, which are the costs an individual athlete cannot usually meet.
It works at the opposite end of the pyramid from Khelo India, which is about participation at the base.
Worth noting
Two schemes, two ends of the same pyramid. Khelo India widens the base; the podium scheme concentrates on the few at the top. Confusing them is the standard error.
