A Correct answer
Explanation

India won the 2011 World Cup as hosts at their home ground, making them the first and only hosting nation to win a World Cup on home soil (co-hosts with Sri Lanka, but India won the final at Mumbai). Australia (2015) and England (2019) won as hosts but their wins were not distinctly 'home ground' advantages in the same historical sense.
