- AUstad Bismillah Khan
- BSatyajit Ray
- CLata Mangeshkar
- DRaj KapoorCorrect
Explanation
The correct answer is D because Raj Kapoor never received the Bharat Ratna. While he was a legendary filmmaker and actor, he was honored with the Padma Bhushan in 1971 and the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1987, but not the highest civilian award.
In contrast, the other three individuals are recipients of the Bharat Ratna. Satyajit Ray received it in 1992 for his contribution to cinema. Both Ustad Bismillah Khan and Lata Mangeshkar were conferred the award in 2001 for their exceptional contributions to music.
