Correct Answer:
B. Hockey
The correct answer is Hockey because Field Hockey is the officially designated and historically celebrated national sport of Pakistan.
- Step 1 (Historical Prestige): Following independence, Pakistan formalized Field Hockey as its national game, managed by the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF).
- Step 2 (Global Legacy): The national team went on to dominate international competitions for decades, capturing three Olympic Gold medals and winning the prestigious Men's Hockey World Cup a record four times.
- Incorrect Options:
- Football is incorrect because football enjoys passionate regional tracking but lacks national designation or a dominant historic international footprint in Pakistan.
- Cricket is a common mistake; while cricket is undeniably the most widely watched and commercially popular sport in Pakistan, it is not the country's official national sport.
- Squash is incorrect because despite Pakistan producing iconic, world-record-breaking squash champions like Jahangir Khan and Jansher Khan, it remains an individual racket sport rather than the official state game.
