सायना नेहवाल बाबत खालीलपैकी कोणते विधान चुकीचे आहे ? / Which of the following statements about Saina Nehwal is/are wrong?

(b)ऑलिम्पिक स्पर्धेत बॅडमिंटनमध्ये पदक जिंकणारी ती पहिली भारतीय महिला आहे. / She is the first Indian woman to win a medal in badminton in Olympic Games.
Saina Nehwal is indeed the first Indian woman to reach World No. 1 in badminton and also the first Indian woman to win an Olympic medal in badminton (Bronze in 2012 London Olympics). Both statements are factually correct, making 'Neither' the right choice for the wrong statement.
आशियाई क्रीडा स्पर्धा - 2023 विषयी योग्य विधाने ओळख. Identify the correct statements regarding Asian Games - 2023.
(a)या स्पर्धा चीनमधील हांगझोउ या ठिकाणी भरवण्यात आल्या. / This competition was held in Hangzhou, China.
(b)उद्घाटन प्रसंगी लव्हलिना बोरगोहेन या नेमबाजाने भारताकडून धजधारकाची भूमिका बजावली. / Shooter Lovelina Borgohain played a role of flag bearer for India at the time of inauguration.
(c)या स्पर्धेत 28 सुवर्णपदकांसह भारताने चौथे स्थान पटकावले. / India got 4th position with 28 gold medals.
(d)या स्पर्धेत एकूण 107 पदे भारताला मिळाली. / India got total 107 medals in this competition.
Asian Games 2023 were held in Hangzhou, China. India secured 4th position with 28 gold medals and a total of 107 medals. Statement (b) is wrong because Lovelina Borgohain was the flag bearer at the closing ceremony (or Harmanpreet Singh / Lovelina at opening/closing depending on exact role, but Harmanpreet and Lovelina were flag bearers; however statement b mentions shooter while Lovelina is a boxer).
