The correct answer for the identification of the person mentioned in the passage is option 3, Kishori Amonkar.

Option 1, Mrinalini Sarabhai, is incorrect. Mrinalini Sarabhai was a renowned Indian classical dancer, not a vocalist.

Option 2, Mogubai Kurdikar, is also incorrect. Mogubai Kurdikar was a prominent Hindustani classical vocalist, but she was not born in April 1932 and did not receive the mentioned awards.

Option 3, Kishori Amonkar, is the correct answer. Kishori Amonkar was indeed a renowned Hindustani classical vocalist recognized for her innovative contribution to the Jaipur Gharana. She was born in April 1932 and received the Padma Bhushan and Padma Vibhushan awards. She was also a Fellow of Sangeet Natak Akademi. Unfortunately, she passed away in April 2017.

Option 4, MS Subbulakshmi, is incorrect. MS Subbulakshmi was a legendary Carnatic vocalist from South India, not a Hindustani classical vocalist.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, Kishori A
