Q1. Which country's armed forces were awarded the coveted Golden Owl award for their outstanding performance in December 2023? Choose the most appropriate option from below.
A India Correct
B China
C Sri Lanka
D Singapore
Explanation
The official key identifies India as the country whose armed forces received the coveted Golden Owl award for outstanding performance in December 2023. This is a current-affairs recall item, so the answer follows the event as framed in the 2024 CET paper. China is not linked with the award in this question. Sri Lanka appears relevant only because the award context is often connected with military training institutions there, not as the awarded country's armed forces. Singapore is also not the awarded country in the official framing.
