C Correct answer
Explanation

Option (4) can easily be marked out for its incorrectness as the statement is refuted by line 'is well in sight of the Indians'. Option (1), (2) as well as (3) are all valid here, so we have to select best of these. Option (2) can be neglected as it is given that both are ranked no. 5 in ranking and Hart ford championship is well in sight of victory for them. Option (1) also can be neglected because next two lines talk about them playing more tournaments which automatically helps to neglect it. Option (3) is valid here as introductory sentence says that nothing boosts the confidence of player more than success and they have broken a big barrier. So, now they can aim high and this very sentiment is given by option (3). Option (3) is correct answer.
