Detailed Solution & Explanation

Key Points

• At the Paris 2024 Paralympics, sprinter Simran took bronze in the women's 200m T12 (visual impairment category), and Navdeep Singh won India's first-ever gold in the men's javelin throw F41 (short stature category) — his medal was upgraded to gold after the original winner's disqualification.
• The wrong options swap the athletes or the medal colours; Paralympic questions usually test the exact athlete–event–medal triple, so memorise them as a unit.
