Which sentence correctly follows the journalistic convention of using the present tense in a headline to describe a recently completed event?

Explanation

News headlines conventionally use the present simple tense to describe events that have already happened, giving ‘Prime Minister Announces New Policy’ even though the announcement occurred in the past. This journalistic convention creates a sense of immediacy and freshness, and the full article text that follows a headline typically reverts to standard past tense narration.
