The correct answer is C. 1924.
The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) is the national Olympic committee for India. It was founded in 1924 and is recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The IOA is responsible for selecting and sending Indian athletes to the Olympic Games and other international competitions. It also organizes the National Games of India.
The IOA is headquartered in New Delhi. The current president of the IOA is Narinder Dhruv Batra.
The IOA has been criticized for its lack of transparency and accountability. It has also been accused of corruption and nepotism. In 2012, the IOA was suspended by the IOC for its failure to comply with the IOC’s Code of Ethics. The suspension was lifted in 2014 after the IOA made a number of reforms.
Despite its problems, the IOA has played an important role in promoting sport in India. It has helped to increase the number of Indians participating in sport and has also helped to improve the performance of Indian athletes at the international level.
The other options are incorrect.
Option A is incorrect because the IOA was founded in 1924, not 1938.
Option B is incorrect because the IOA was founded in 1924, not 1986.
Option D is incorrect because the IOA was founded in 1924, not 1914.
