Explanation

The Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar Award is one among the `Stree Shakti Puraskar` which is given for displaying courage and valour. Option 1 suggests that the award is given for administrative skills. This is incorrect as the award is specifically for acts of courage and bravery. Option 2 suggests that the award is given for achievements in scientific research. This is also incorrect as the award is not connected to any scientific achievements. Option 3 implies it is given for achievements in sports and games. While such achievements are notable, it`s incorrect as the Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar award specifically recognises courage and bravery.
