Correct answer: C
Answer summary: The correct statements are that Lakshya Sen received the Arjuna Award in 2022 and that he won the individual (Men's Singles) gold medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. The team did not win gold.
Arjuna Award (2022): Lakshya Sen received the Arjuna Award in 2022. This statement is true.
Individual gold at Commonwealth Games 2022: He won the Men's Singles gold medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. This statement is true.
Team gold at Commonwealth Games 2022: India won silver in the team event at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, so Lakshya Sen is not a team gold medalist. This statement is false.
