Which item helps with identification during voting at a polling station?

Correct answer: मतदाता पहचान पत्र (Voter identity card)

The correct answer is A: a voter identity card. At a polling station, the election staff must check the voter’s identity against the electoral roll and the identification requirements set for the election. The voter identity card, also called an EPIC in India, is specifically connected with a registered voter and is the school-level answer expected for identification during voting. Option B, a school identity card, usually proves a student’s connection with a school, not registration as a voter. Option C, a library membership card, only identifies a library member and has no ordinary connection with the electoral roll. Option D, a sports-club card, similarly shows club membership rather than voter identity. In an actual election, authorities may prescribe or accept additional approved identity documents, so local official instructions should always be followed. The important civics distinction is that a voting identity document helps verify who the registered voter is; it is not the same as the ballot or the voting machine.
