The Leontief Award, presented in 2009, recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the field of economic theory. Among the given options, option 1, Montek Singh Ahluwalia, has not been presented with the Leontief Award, so it is not the correct answer.

Option 2, Prof. Bina Agarwal, has been presented with the Leontief Award in 2009 for her outstanding contributions to the field of economic theory. This option is the correct answer to the question.

Option 3, Prof. Amartya Sen, has also made significant contributions to the field of economic theory, but he has not been presented with the Leontief Award in 2009.

Option 4, Jagdish Bhagwati, has also made notable contributions to the field of economics, but he has not been presented with the Leontief Award in 2009.
