B Correct answer
Explanation

Bhanu Athaiya made history in 1983 by becoming the first Indian to win an Oscar, winning Best Costume Design for 'Gandhi.' A.R. Rahman won his Oscars much later (2009 for Slumdog Millionaire), while Gulzar (also 2009) co-won with Rahman. Amir Khan has not won an Oscar - he's an actor/producer, not in categories that would have won him this specific honor first.
