Answer: (C) Booker Prize is for the books written in English while 'International Booker Prize' is for the books written in other languages and translated in English.
The Booker Prize (established 1969) goes each year to the best novel written in English and published in the UK or Ireland; David Szalay won it in 2025 for 'Flesh'. The International Booker Prize (started 2005; in its present annual form since 2016) goes to a work of fiction translated into English, and its prize money is shared equally between author and translator; in 2025 it went to 'Heart Lamp', short stories by the Kannada writer Banu Mushtaq translated by Deepa Bhasthi, the first Kannada work and the first short-story collection to win. Geetanjali Shree's 'Tomb of Sand' (translated from Hindi by Daisy Rockwell) won it in 2022. Indian winners of the Booker Prize: Arundhati Roy (1997), Kiran Desai (2006) and Aravind Adiga (2008). Options A, B and D are baseless.
