Explanation
The correct answer is A because a Grand Slam in tennis is achieved by winning all four major championships in a single calendar year. These four tournaments are the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. These are considered the most prestigious events in professional tennis due to their history, prize money, and the ranking points they offer. Other options are incorrect because they either omit one of these four majors or include non-major tournaments like the Davis Cup or the Czech Open.
