Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
The error is that the preposition with is not suitable in the context of winning a medal in a competition. The correct preposition to use when referring to winning a medal in a competition is for. With, typically indicates association, means, or accompaniment, whereas for usually denotes purpose, benefit, or intended recipient.
