B Correct answer
Explanation

M.S. Subbulakshmi was the first Indian musician to perform at the United Nations in 1966, invited by UN Secretary-General U Thant. She's renowned as one of India's greatest classical singers. The claim that she was the 'only' musician is likely incorrect - many artists have performed at the UN since - but she was the first Indian and remains the most famous in this context.
