A Correct answer
Explanation

'Unless' means 'if not' and already contains a negative meaning. Therefore, 'unless Hema plays well, she will not win' would mean 'if Hema does not play well, she will not win' - a positive result from a negative condition. The correct logical structure is 'unless X happens, Y will not happen' meaning 'if X does not happen, Y will not happen'.
