In 2018, the World Travel and Tourism Council reported that tourism generated 16.91 lakh crore (US$240 billion) or 9.2% of India's GDP and funded 42.673 million jobs, 8.1% of its total employment. By 2028, the industry is expected to rise at an annual rate of 6.9 percent to around 32.05 lakh crore (US$ 450 billion) (9.9 percent of GDP).
India was ranked 34th out of 140 countries overall in the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report 2019. In the 2017 survey, which was the biggest change among the top 25 percent of countries ranked, India improved its ranking by 6 places. The study ranks India's tourism sector's price competitiveness 13th out of 140 countries.
In total, travel and tourism accounted for 7.68% of Brazil's GDP, or almost 140 billion U.S. dollars.
Brazil provides a wide variety of choices for both domestic and foreign visitors, with natural areas being the most common commodity for tourism, a mix of leisure and recreation, especially sun and beach, adventure travel, as well as historical and cultural tourism.
In terms of the 2015 Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI), which calculates the factors that make it attractive for individual countries to grow business in the travel and tourism industry, Brazil was ranked 28th in the world, third in the Americas, after Canada and the United States.

Hence the correct answer is option A.

Note: Health tourism refers to individuals going overseas to seek medical care. In the past, this commonly applied to those who traveled to major medical centers in highly developed countries from less developed countries for care not available at home. In recent years, however, it can also apply to those from developed countries who migrate to developing countries for lower-priced medical services
A broader term for travel that focuses on medical procedures and the use of health care services is health tourism. It encompasses a broad spectrum of health-oriented tourism, from preventive and health-conductive care to rehabilitative and curative modes of travel. Wellness tourism is an area linked to this.
