  1. AMontreal (1976)
  2. BMoscow (1980)Correct
  3. CLos Angeles (1984)
  4. DAtalanta (1996)

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the Indian mens field hockey team won the gold medal at the 1980 Moscow Olympics. This was Indias eighth gold medal in field hockey. Following the 1980 Games, India did not win another Olympic gold medal until Abhinav Bindra won the individual 10 meter air rifle event at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Since the question provides options only up to 1996, Moscow 1980 represents the last instance within that timeline.
