Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
A state election icon is a person formally designated by the Election Commission to support voter-awareness activities. In a current-affairs question, the decisive checks are the appointing authority, jurisdiction, date, and exact name in the official record.
Application
In January 2023, the Election Commission approved the appointment of folk singer Maithili Thakur as the State Icon of Bihar. The BPSC answer key for this source paper also assigns the corresponding response to this exact name.
Contrast
Pallavi Thakur changes the given name from the appointment record.
Maithili Mishra changes the surname from the appointment record.
More than one of the above conflicts with a notice naming one individual.
None of the above conflicts with the presence of the appointed person among the listed names.
Therefore, the required value is Maithili Thakur.
