Explanation
The last person executed in India was Yakub Memon, and the correct answer is B.
Yakub Memon was convicted of his involvement in the 1993 Bombay bombings, which killed 257 people and injured more than 700 others. He was found guilty of conspiracy and providing logistical support for the attacks, which were carried out by a group of militants linked to organized crime syndicates in India and Pakistan.
Memon was sentenced to death by a special court in 2007, and his appeal was rejected by the Supreme Court of India in 2013. He filed a mercy petition with the President of India, but it was also rejected. Memon was hanged in Nagpur Central Jail on July 30, 2015, becoming the last person executed in India.
It is important to note that the death penalty is a controversial issue in India, and there is an ongoing debate about whether it should be abolished. Several human rights organizations and activists have called for a moratorium on the death penalty, citing concerns about the fairness of trials and the risk of executing innocent people.
