Correct Answer: held at 2017


Solution : The correct option will be the third option.

The phrase held at 2017 is grammatically incorrect. When talking about the time an event took place, the preposition at is not used directly with a year. Instead, the correct structure is, held in 2017 .
The corrected version uses the preposition in to indicate the year the competition took place.
