Who was the first Indian to win a gold medal in the Olympics for an individual event after independence?
A. Milkha Singh
B. Dhyan Chand
C. K. D. Jadhav
D. Balbir Singh Sr.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
K. D. Jadhav won a bronze medal in wrestling at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, becoming the first Indian individual Olympic medalist. The question says gold, but individual gold was won later by Abhinav Bindra. So I'll correct to first individual medalist: K. D. Jadhav won bronze in 1952. I'll rephrase to avoid inaccuracy. I'll change: first Indian to win an individual Olympic medal.
