D Correct answer
Explanation

Morarji Desai was the first Indian Prime Minister to address the UN General Assembly in Hindi in 1978. While Lal Bahadur Shastri and A.B. Vajpayee were prominent leaders, Vajpayee famously spoke in Hindi later but Desai was the first PM to do so at UNGA. Lal Krishna Advani never became PM. This was a significant moment for promoting Hindi on international platforms.
