​Consider the following statement about the BWF World Badminton Championships 2023:
1. Indian player HS Prannoy won silver medal in the men’s singles category
2. Malaysia was the host country of this event
3. It was the 10th edition of the event
Which of the statement given above is/are incorrect?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is: (c) Statement 2 and 3

Explanation:
• Statement 1 is correct in part – Indian shuttler HS Prannoy won the bronze medal, not silver, in the men’s singles category at the BWF World Championships 2023. So this statement is incorrect.
• Statement 2 is incorrect – The 2023 BWF World Championships were held in Copenhagen, Denmark, not Malaysia.
• Statement 3 is incorrect – The 2023 edition was the 28th edition, not the 10th. The tournament has been held annually since 1977 (with some exceptions).

Thus, Statement 2 and 3 are incorrect, making option (c) the correct answer.
