Regarding major sports events and results, which of the following 2017 statements is correct?

Introduction / Context:
This question combines three different sports events from 2017 to test your detailed awareness of international badminton and tennis results. Such multi statement questions require you to carefully evaluate each statement instead of guessing based on partial memory. Knowing which host country organized a championship, and which players won specific tennis titles, helps you eliminate incorrect statements and identify the only correct one.

Given Data / Assumptions:
• Statement A claims that the United Arab Emirates hosted the Badminton 2017 BWF World Senior Championships. • Statement B claims that Johanna Konta won the Tennis 2017 Miami Open Women Singles title. • Statement C claims that Grigor Dimitrov won the Tennis 2017 US Open Men Singles title. • The task is to determine which combination of these statements is correct.

Concept / Approach:
For multi statement sports questions, treat each statement like a separate true or false claim. Check the host city and country for the badminton event, then verify the winners of the mentioned tennis tournaments. After you know which statements are true, choose the option that accurately describes the set of correct statements. This structured approach is safer than relying on a vague memory of one name or venue.

Step-by-Step Solution:
• Step 1: Evaluate Statement A. The 2017 BWF World Senior Championships were hosted in Kochi, India, not in the United Arab Emirates. Therefore, Statement A is false. • Step 2: Evaluate Statement B. In 2017, Johanna Konta did indeed win the Women Singles title at the Miami Open tennis tournament, making Statement B true. • Step 3: Evaluate Statement C. The 2017 US Open Men Singles champion was Rafael Nadal, not Grigor Dimitrov, so Statement C is false. • Step 4: Summarize the truth values: A is false, B is true, and C is false. • Step 5: From the options, the combination that matches this evaluation is “Only statement B is correct”.

Verification / Alternative check:
To verify, you can cross check major sports results summaries for 2017. Lists of badminton world championships clearly place the World Senior Championships in Kochi, India. Tennis records for the Miami Open confirm Johanna Konta as the women singles winner that year. Similarly, official Grand Slam records show Rafael Nadal as the men singles champion at the US Open 2017, not Grigor Dimitrov. When all three independent sources are considered, only Statement B aligns with reality.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
• Only statement C is correct: This would require Dimitrov to have won the US Open 2017, which did not happen. • Statements B and C are both correct: This assumes C is true, but it is clearly false based on official records. • Statements A, B and C are all correct: This would mean all three claims are true, which is impossible given the incorrect host country and incorrect US Open winner.

Common Pitfalls:
Learners sometimes focus on only one familiar name, such as Johanna Konta or Grigor Dimitrov, and assume all statements mentioning familiar names must be correct. Another mistake is confusing different badminton tournaments or confusing the various tennis Masters events and Grand Slams. A disciplined approach is to check each statement independently and remember that even if one part of a statement is wrong, the entire statement is considered false.

Final Answer:
The only accurate statement among the three is Statement B, so the correct answer is Only statement B is correct.
