Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 16 years.
India won the gold medal in men’s hockey at the Asian Games in 2014 after a gap of 16 years. The last time India had secured this title was in the 1998 Asian Games held in Bangkok. The 2014 victory came at Incheon, South Korea, where India defeated Pakistan in the final through a penalty shootout. This achievement was significant as it not only broke a long drought but also secured India’s direct qualification for the 2016 Rio Olympics.
