A. Param Vir ChakraA. परमवीर चक्र

Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is Param Vir Chakra.
According to the source, the Param Vir Chakra (PVC) is the highest gallantry award for officers and other enlisted personnel of all military branches of India for the highest degree of valour in the presence of the enemy.
The book states that the award was introduced on 26th January 1950 and may be given posthumously.
Therefore the complete source-supported revision chain is: Param Vir Chakra (PVC) — highest gallantry award according to source — officers and other enlisted personnel — all military branches of India — highest degree of valour — in the presence of the enemy — introduced 26 January 1950 — may be awarded posthumously.
Shaurya Chakra, Mahavir Chakra and Kirti Chakra are distractors.
This question should be distinguished from the source's earlier question on order of precedence and from awards for gallantry other than in the face of the enemy.
Quick revision: Param Vir Chakra = highest gallantry award in the presence of the enemy = 26 January 1950 = can be posthumous according to source.
Therefore option (a) is correct.

सही उत्तर Param Vir Chakra है। स्रोत के अनुसार Param Vir Chakra (PVC) भारत की सभी military branches के officers और other enlisted personnel के लिए highest gallantry award है, जो enemy की presence में highest degree of valour के लिए दिया जाता है। Book बताती है कि यह award 26 January 1950 को introduced किया गया था और इसे posthumously भी दिया जा सकता है। इसलिए complete source-supported revision chain है: Param Vir Chakra — PVC — Highest Gallantry Award according to source — Officers and Enlisted Personnel — All Military Branches — Highest Degree of Valour — Presence of Enemy — 26 January 1950 — Posthumous Award possible। Shaurya Chakra, Mahavir Chakra और Kirti Chakra distractors हैं। इसे earlier order-of-precedence question और enemy के सामने प्रत्यक्ष confrontation के बाहर दिए जाने वाले gallantry awards से अलग समझना चाहिए। Quick revision: Param Vir Chakra = Highest Gallantry Award = Enemy की Presence में Valour = Introduced 26 January 1950। इसलिए विकल्प (a) सही उत्तर है।
