Correct Answerसही उत्तर

A. Michael PhelpsA. माइकल फेल्प्स

Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer according to the source is Michael Phelps.
The book describes American swimmer Michael Phelps as the most decorated Olympian and states that he won a total of 28 Olympic medals across individual and team events.
According to the source, this medal tally consists of 23 gold medals, 3 silver medals and 2 bronze medals.
Therefore the source-supported revision chain is: Michael Phelps — American swimmer — most decorated Olympian according to the book — 28 total medals — 23 gold — 3 silver — 2 bronze.
The question specifically asks who has won the maximum gold medals in Olympic history, and among the listed options the printed solution selects Michael Phelps.
Larisa Latynina, Usain Bolt and Muhammad Ali are distractors.
The source does not give Phelps's Olympic participation years, individual events, relay events or a chronological breakdown of his medals, so those details have not been added.
Quick revision: Michael Phelps = 28 Olympic medals = 23 gold + 3 silver + 2 bronze according to source.
Therefore option (a) is correct.

स्रोत के अनुसार सही उत्तर Michael Phelps है। पुस्तक American swimmer Michael Phelps को most decorated Olympian बताती है और कहती है कि उन्होंने individual तथा team events को मिलाकर कुल 28 Olympic medals जीते। Source के अनुसार इनमें 23 gold medals, 3 silver medals और 2 bronze medals शामिल हैं। इसलिए source-supported revision chain है: Michael Phelps — American Swimmer — Source के अनुसार Most Decorated Olympian — 28 Total Medals — 23 Gold — 3 Silver — 2 Bronze। Question Olympic history में maximum gold medals जीतने वाले खिलाड़ी को पूछता है और printed solution Michael Phelps को सही बताती है। Larisa Latynina, Usain Bolt और Muhammad Ali distractors हैं। Source उनके Olympic participation years या individual medal events की detailed list नहीं देती, इसलिए outside information add नहीं की गई है। Quick revision: Michael Phelps = 28 Olympic Medals = 23 Gold + 3 Silver + 2 Bronze according to source। इसलिए विकल्प (a) सही है।
