UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Women first participated in the modern Olympic Games

The 1900 Paris Olympic Games hold historical significance because they marked the first time women were allowed to compete in the modern Olympic Games, taking part in events such as tennis and golf.

This was not the Games with the maximum global participation, the first with a dedicated Olympic village (that came later, in 1932), or the one with the highest number of events for its era compared to other landmark editions.

Therefore, the correct answer is that women first participated in the modern Olympic Games in 1900.
