B Correct answer
Explanation

After crossing the finish line in what appears to be a winning position, Rahul 'believes' he has won because he's expressing a conviction based on observable evidence (his position relative to others). 'I hope I have won' would suggest uncertainty despite what he sees, which doesn't fit the context of being 'overjoyed' - his joy comes from the conviction that he has succeeded.
