Explanation
The Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna, India's highest sporting honour, for 2018 was conferred on cricketer Virat Kohli and weightlifter S. Mirabai Chanu. The awards were announced in September 2018. Kohli was recognised for his exceptional batting record as captain of the Indian cricket team, and Chanu for her gold medals at the 2017 World Weightlifting Championships and the 2018 Commonwealth Games. Neeraj Chopra and Hima Das did not receive the Khel Ratna in 2018. Hence option B is correct.
