Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
The Strandja Memorial Boxing Tournament is Europe's oldest international boxing competition, organised annually by the Bulgarian Boxing Federation. Each edition is hosted in Bulgaria, with the capital city Sofia as the regular venue.
Application
The 73rd edition was held in February 2022 in Sofia, Bulgaria. At this event the Indian contingent secured two gold medals through Nikhat Zareen in the women's 52 kg category and Nitu in the women's 48 kg category, along with a bronze, making the host nation of this tournament Bulgaria.
Cross-check
This matches the tournament's permanent home: every Strandja Memorial edition is staged in Bulgaria, never in Poland, Ireland or Croatia. So among the options offered, Bulgaria is the only one consistent with both the event's history and the 2022 results.
