Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) is typically granted to persons of Indian origin who are citizens of other countries. It allows them to have a special status that is not exactly the same as full Indian citizenship but provides certain benefits, such as the ability to travel to India without a visa, own property, and participate in economic activities in India. Foreign nationals married to Indian citizens might have different residency or visa statuses, but OCI specifically targets persons of Indian origin who are citizens of other countries. hence option B is the correct option.
