The correct option is D Soccer
  • Victory trophy is related to the game of Soccer. Though, originally called Victory, the trophy was renamed in 1946 to honour FIFA President Jules Rimet.
  • The trophy is gold-plated sterling silver. The 35 centimetres tall, 3.8-kilogram trophy depicts a winged Nike, the ancient Greek goddess of victory, carrying a decagonal cup.
