Solution

The correct option is C It is certain that India cannot win this match now.
The word ‘that’ is used as a conjunction to introduce a subordinate clause to make a statement or provide more information, ‘that’ conjunction does not affect the meaning of the sentence.
Option C gives the correct sentence.
Option B misses the importance of the word ‘certain’ from the original sentences, showing the degree of conviction.
Option A is incorrect as it changes the meaning of the original sentences. It gives a sense that the loss of India was already imminent.
