C. 1948C. 1948
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is 1948.
According to the source, Independent India won its first Olympic gold in hockey in 1948.
The book further states that the India national field hockey team was the first non-European team to be part of the International Hockey Federation.
It describes the 1948 victory as the country's first Olympic gold medal since India became independent.
Therefore the source-supported revision chain is: Independent India → first Olympic gold in hockey → 1948 → India national field hockey team → source describes it as first non-European team to be part of the International Hockey Federation → first Olympic gold since independence.
The years 1952, 1960 and 1956 are distractors.
The distinction 'Independent India' is important because the question is not asking about India's entire pre-independence Olympic hockey history; it specifically asks about the first gold after independence.
The source explanation should therefore be read in that framing.
Quick revision: Independent India's first Olympic hockey gold = 1948.
Therefore option (c) is correct.
सही उत्तर 1948 है। स्रोत के अनुसार Independent India ने hockey में अपना पहला Olympic Gold 1948 में जीता। Book आगे बताती है कि India national field hockey team International Hockey Federation का हिस्सा बनने वाली first non-European team थी। Source 1948 की victory को India के independent होने के बाद देश का first Olympic gold medal बताती है। इसलिए source-supported revision chain है: Independent India → First Olympic Hockey Gold → 1948 → India National Field Hockey Team → Source के अनुसार International Hockey Federation की First Non-European Team → Independence के बाद First Olympic Gold। 1952, 1960 और 1956 distractors हैं। यहां 'Independent India' शब्द महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि question pre-independence Olympic history नहीं, बल्कि independence के बाद पहला gold पूछता है। Quick revision: Independent India's First Olympic Hockey Gold = 1948। इसलिए विकल्प (c) सही है।
