Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Banu Mushtaq & Deepa Bhasthi.
In 2025, the International Booker Prize was awarded to the Indian author Banu Mushtaq and her translator Deepa Bhasthi for the book Heart Lamp (originally titled Hridaya Deepa in Kannada). This win is historic as it marks the first time a collection of short stories has won the prize. The book features twelve stories that vividly chronicle the lives and resilience of women in patriarchal communities in southern India. Banu Mushtaq is the second Indian author to receive this prestigious honor, following Geetanjali Shree's win in 2022.
