Guwahati hosted the 2007 National Games of India (33rd edition), held from February 9-18, 2007. This is the correct answer. The question phrasing 'Last National Games' is awkward but refers to this specific event. Neither New Delhi, Ranchi, nor Hyderabad hosted in 2007.

Old Trafford is famously nicknamed 'The Theatre of Dreams' by United legend Bobby Charlton. This nickname reflects the stadium's magical atmosphere and history. The other options are incorrect - it's not named after Bobby Charlton personally, nor is it called Philips Stadium. 'None of these' is wrong because 'Theatre of Dreams' is the well-known nickname.
