Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

The jury for the 2026 International Booker Prize was announced in June 2025. The five-member panel is chaired by the British novelist Natasha Brown. The other members include Marcus du Sautoy (British mathematician), Sophie Hughes (British translator), Troy Onyango (Kenyan writer), and Nilanjana S. Roy (Indian novelist and journalist).

  • Nilanjana S. Roy is a prominent Indian literary critic, columnist, and author of works such as The Wildings and The Hundred Names of Darkness.
  • Natasha Brown is a British novelist, not Indian.
  • Kiran Desai is a celebrated Indian author (winner of the 2006 Booker Prize), but she is not a member of the 2026 International Booker jury.
  • Rajni Chauhan is not part of this jury panel.

Therefore, only statement 3 is correct, making option D the right choice.
