The correct answer is option 1, Shaurya Chakra. The Shaurya Chakra is a Peacetime Gallantry Award.

To better understand why option 1 is the correct answer, let`s dissect each option:

1. Shaurya Chakra: This is a Peacetime Gallantry Award. It is awarded for acts of bravery and selfless courage displayed during non-combat situations, such as fighting terrorism, counter-insurgency operations, or saving lives during natural disasters.

2. Vir Chakra: The Vir Chakra is a Gallantry Award, but it is awarded for acts of bravery and selfless courage displayed during times of war or in the face of the enemy. It is not considered a Peacetime Gallantry Award.

3. Yudh Seva Medal: This is a distinguished service decoration awarded to recognize distinguished service during war or conflict situations. It is not specifically a Peacetime Gallantry Award.

4. Param Vir Chakra: The Param Vir Chakra is the highest military decoration awarded for acts of valor in the presence of the enemy. It is awarded during times of war or in the face of the enemy, and it is not considered a Peacetime Gallantry Award.
