Answer 1

The correct option is C Indian Prime Minister's visit to the United States in 2015 was

The best combination would be a simple sentence with only one clause. Therefore, the underlined part must be turned into a noun phrase, the verb turned into a noun form, here, "visited" to "visit". Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
