C Correct answer
Explanation

Bhanu Athaiya became the first Indian to win an Oscar in 1983 for Best Costume Design for the film Gandhi. While AR Rahman and Resul Pookutty won Oscars later (for Slumdog Millionaire in 2009), Athaiya's achievement came decades earlier in 1983. Danny Boyle is a British director, not an Indian awardee.
