Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: E
Concept
Current-affairs questions about a sporting event are answered by recalling the specific edition's host venue, not the sport in general. The Women's Asian Champions Trophy is a continental field-hockey tournament whose host city and state change with each edition, so the key fact to fix is where the 2024 edition (11-20 November) was staged.
Application
The 2024 Women's Asian Champions Trophy was staged at the newly built Rajgir Hockey Stadium in Rajgir, which lies in Bihar. The host state for this edition is therefore Bihar.
Cross-check
This was the first major international hockey event held in that state, and the host nation India went on to win the title at the same venue, confirming Bihar as the location of the 2024 edition.
