- A.Women's 10m Air Rifle Standing SH1
- B.Women's 50m Rifle 3 Positions SH1
- C.Women's 25m Pistol SH1
- D.Women's Doubles SL3-SU5
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Women's 50m Rifle 3 Positions SH1. Mona Agarwal won the gold in this shooting event at the Asian Para Games, and her winning performance stood as a new world record as well as a new Asian Para Games record. The Prime Minister noted that she had become the first Indian para shooter to win a medal in this event, which is what makes the result historic rather than merely another gold. Options A and C are wrong because the release that announced her gold names only the three positions rifle event in the SH1 class, and no other shooting event was credited to her on the day. Option D is wrong because that class belongs to para badminton, not shooting: the Women's Doubles SL3-SU5 gold was won by Thulasimathi Murugesan and Manasi Joshi, who became Asian Para Games champions in their own discipline on the same day.
