D Correct answer
Explanation

Bharat Ratna was conferred on Subhas Chandra Bose in 1992 (posthumously), but was later withdrawn in 2021 following a legal petition that questioned the procedure. No Bharat Ratna has been awarded to Gandhi, Patel, or Rajiv Gandhi posthumously under similar controversy. This remains a unique case in the award's history.
