The correct answer is: a) Communal harmony.

The Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed Award is a national award given by the Government of India for exemplary work in promoting communal harmony. It was instituted in 1975 in memory of Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, the third President of India. The award is given to individuals, institutions, or organizations that have made significant contributions to promoting communal harmony in India.

The award consists of a cash prize of ₹5 lakh, a citation, and a plaque. It is presented annually on the occasion of the Republic Day of India.

The award is given by a jury appointed by the Ministry of Home Affairs. The jury consists of eminent persons from various fields, including social work, education, and the media.

The award is a recognition of the efforts of individuals and organizations that have worked to promote communal harmony in India. It is a symbol of the government’s commitment to promoting peace and harmony among all communities in India.

Option d) Sports is a popular pastime, but it is not the focus of the Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed Award. The award is given for exemplary work in promoting communal harmony, not sports.
