Explanation

Mother Teresa (born in Macedonia, naturalized Indian citizen) was the first person of non-Indian origin to receive the Bharat Ratna in 1980. While Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan (from Pakistan) received it later in 1987, Mother Teresa is recognized as the first foreign-born recipient. Martin Luther King never received this award, and Zubin Mehta (typo in option) has only received Padma awards, not Bharat Ratna.
