Wrong!
The correct answer is B.
Did you know? In spite of being a brilliant student, Ash never liked Maths. Once when she fared badly in the sixth grade, her teacher told her mother that Aishwarya should not believe she is good at everything. In the VIIth, she stood 3rd in class, which further hurt her pride, as she was used to coming first. She studied hard to make up for it, but in the 10th she managed only 83% in Maths, which was a big blow to her ego. She was shattered for a month after that.
