Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation
The 'WTO draft document' refers to the Dunkel Draft (1991), which served as the blueprint for the creation of the World Trade Organization. Jagdish N. Bhagwati, a world-renowned expert on international trade, was the Economic Policy Adviser to Arthur Dunkel (then Director-General of GATT) during the drafting period and was a key intellectual proponent of the agreement. While Amartya Sen (Option A) won the Nobel Prize in 1998, his work focuses on welfare economics and poverty rather than the technical framework of the WTO. Authoritative UPSC archives identify Bhagwati as the correct answer.
