Neeraj Chopra, gold medalist at Tokyo olmpics(2020),was awarded_______ by the President of India in November 2021
Explanation:
Following his historic gold medal win at the Tokyo Olympics 2020 (held in 2021), Neeraj Chopra was conferred with the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award, India's highest sporting honor, by the President of India in November 2021. Therefore, option A is correct. Option B, the Arjuna Award, is also a prestigious sports award but is typically given for consistent good performance over four years, and the Khel Ratna is a higher honor. Option C, the Dronacharya Award, is specifically for outstanding coaches. Option D, the Rashtriya Khel Protsahan Puraskar, is awarded to organizations for their role in sports promotion. Thus, B, C, and D are incorrect awards for this context.
