For the listed 2017 motor sport and golf events, which statements are correct?

Introduction / Context:
This question combines information from MotoGP motorcycle racing, professional golf and Formula One motor racing. It presents three detailed statements about winners of specific 2017 events and asks you to identify whether any of them are correct. Such questions are designed to reward precise knowledge of who won which event, rather than just vague familiarity with famous names in the sports world.

Given Data / Assumptions:
• Statement A: Dani Pedrosa won the 2017 Qatar Motorcycle Grand Prix MotoGP. • Statement B: Bernhard Langer won the Golf 2017 BMW PGA Championship. • Statement C: Dustin Johnson won the Formula One 2017 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. • You must decide which combination of these statements, if any, is correct.

Concept / Approach:
The method is to evaluate each statement on its own merits. First, determine who actually won the MotoGP race in Qatar in 2017. Second, check the winner of the BMW PGA Championship in golf that year. Third, remember that Formula One events are won by racing drivers, not golfers, and identify who really won the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Once the truth value of each statement is known, select the option that faithfully reflects those values.

Step-by-Step Solution:
• Step 1: Evaluate Statement A. The 2017 Qatar MotoGP was won by Maverick Vinales, not Dani Pedrosa, so Statement A is false. • Step 2: Evaluate Statement B. The 2017 BMW PGA Championship golf title went to Alex Noren, not Bernhard Langer. Therefore, Statement B is false. • Step 3: Evaluate Statement C. Formula One races are contested by F1 drivers. Dustin Johnson is a professional golfer, so he could not have won the 2017 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The actual winner was Valtteri Bottas, so Statement C is false. • Step 4: Summarize: A is false, B is false and C is false. • Step 5: The option that matches this result is “None of these statements is correct”.

Verification / Alternative check:
Official MotoGP records name Maverick Vinales as the Qatar race winner in 2017. Golf tournament records list Alex Noren as the BMW PGA Championship winner that year. Formula One season statistics show Valtteri Bottas as the winner of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, while Dustin Johnson appears only in golf leaderboards, not in motor racing. These independent records confirm that all three given statements are incorrect.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
• Only statement B is correct: This treats Bernhard Langer as the BMW PGA winner, which is inaccurate. • Statements B and C are correct: This wrongly assumes both a golf result and a Formula One result are true. • Statements A, B and C are all correct: This would require all three events to have been won by the named people, which contradicts official data.

Common Pitfalls:
Students may recognize famous names like Dani Pedrosa, Bernhard Langer and Dustin Johnson and assume that any statement featuring them must be correct. Others may not notice that a golfer is being incorrectly linked to a Formula One race. Always look beyond the familiarity of names and focus on whether the person named is logically connected to the sport and event in question for the specific year.

Final Answer:
Since all three statements are false, the correct answer is None of these statements is correct.
