Which country is regularly last in summer medals?

• A. Brazil
• B. China
• C. India
• D. Italy

Answer: (C)

Medal counts in the Summer Games reflect how deeply a country supports and develops Olympic sports and the breadth of talent across events. India has historically earned far fewer medals than many other countries due to longer-standing underinvestment in elite sport programs, less emphasis on a wide range of Olympic events, and infrastructure that hasn’t kept pace with top nations. As a result, in many Olympic cycles India sits near the bottom of the medal table, which is why it’s the country most often last among these options. In contrast, Brazil, China, and Italy have stronger Olympic traditions and more resources for training athletes, leading to more medals and higher rankings. This pattern is why India is the best choice here.
