My OH thinks it is A.
Eddie Merckx won it 5 times but not in a row (1969,1970,1971,1972 and 1974)
Miguel Indurain won it in 1991-95 inclusive.

As mentioned above the question was(as posted on another site)

who was the first man to win the Tour de France five times in a row.

The options were
A. Miguel Indurain
B. Eddie Merckx
C. Greg LeMond

Its apologies from me for indicating the incorrect answer earlier. I found the incorrect answer (B) on another site which didn't show the question. It shows that other sites are not always up to the standards of this one!!
