At the Los Angeles 1984 Olympics, P. T. Usha clocked 55.42 seconds in the women's 400 m hurdles final and finished fourth, behind Romania's Cristieana Cojocaru by just 1/100 of a second — a heartbreaking miss that has since become an iconic moment in Indian athletics.

Hence the answer is One-hundredth — option 1.
