C Correct answer
Explanation

India defeated Australia by 56 runs in the 1983 World Cup at Trent Bridge, a significant victory during India's championship campaign. Australia went on to win the World Cup in 1987, 1999, 2003, and 2007, making India's victories against them rare. In the temporal context when this question was written (likely 2007-2010), 24 years from 1983 to 2007 was the correct calculation. Note that this answer is temporally unstable - as of 2026, India defeated Australia more recently.
