CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The first Asian Games were held at New Delhi in 1951.
India hosted them again in 1982, which was the ninth edition.
That makes New Delhi both the first host city and a repeat host, and either fact can be asked.
Worth noting
Two Delhi Games, thirty-one years apart. The 1982 edition matters beyond sport, because the stadia built for it are the reason the Sports Authority of India exists.
