Mirabai Chanu secured a silver medal at which Commonwealth Games?

Correct — A. Mirabai Chanu took silver in the 48 kg class at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow — option (a).

Her later Commonwealth medals are gold, not silver: 48 kg gold at Gold Coast in 2018 and 49 kg gold at Birmingham in 2022.

So the word silver carries the whole question. Read past it and every later Games looks equally plausible.

Why the others are wrong

• (b)
  2018 — At Gold Coast 2018 she won gold in the 48 kg class, not silver, so the colour named in the question rules the year out.
• (c)
  2010 — She won no medal at the 2010 Delhi Games. Her Commonwealth Games record begins at Glasgow in 2014.
• (d)
  2022 — At Birmingham 2022 she again won gold, this time in the 49 kg class after the bodyweight categories were revised.

Weightlifting items turn on a triple — athlete, Games, colour of medal — and the colour is where the mark is lost.

Chanu's most repeated result is the silver at the Tokyo Olympics, held in 2021, and that memory pulls candidates towards a recent year here.

Her Commonwealth line is short and worth memorising whole: silver at Glasgow 2014, gold at Gold Coast 2018, gold at Birmingham 2022. She also won the World Weightlifting Championship at Anaheim in 2017.
