Correct answer: C
Concept: The Commonwealth Games is a multi-sport event held every four years among Commonwealth nations, and each country's performance is tracked separately by gold, silver, and bronze medal counts in the official standings.
Application: At the 2018 Commonwealth Games held in Gold Coast, Australia, India finished third in the overall medal table with a tally of 26 gold, 20 silver, and 20 bronze medals (66 total), behind Australia and England.
Cross-check — why the other options don't fit:
18 does not appear in any verified record of India's medal tally for the 2018 Gold Coast Games.
32 does not appear in any verified record of India's medal tally for the 2018 Gold Coast Games.
20 corresponds to India's silver-medal count (and separately its bronze-medal count) for 2018, not its gold-medal count — confusing the medal colour with the tally gives this number.
Therefore, India's confirmed gold-medal count at the 2018 Commonwealth Games is 26.
