The correct answer is option 2: She was not awarded the Bharat Ratna in 2002. Gangubai Hangal was a renowned Hindustani classical singer from the Kirana Gharana. She was highly respected and had received several accolades during her lifetime. However, she was not awarded the Bharat Ratna, which is India`s highest civilian award, in 2002 as stated in option 2.

Option 1 correctly states that she was a Hindustani classical singer of the Kirana Gharana. The Kirana Gharana is one of the prominent schools or styles of Hindustani classical music.

Option 4 is also correct. Gangubai Hangal had the honor of being felicitated by nine Prime Ministers and five Presidents of India. Her talent and contribution to the field of music were widely recognized and appreciated.

In summary, the only statement that is not correct about Gangubai Hangal is option 2, as she was not awarded the Bharat Ratna
