C15 January
DAttack helicopter
Correct Answer: 15 JanuaryYour Answer: C
Explanation
Correct Answer: Option C — 15 January. 15 January is the accurate answer because the day commemorates Lieutenant General K. Cariappa taking over as the first Indian Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army in 1949. This identifying fact establishes its correct connection with commemorative day and distinguishes it from the other defence-related choices. Why the other options are incorrect: Option A — Dundigal, Telangana: This is actually associated with training institution; specifically, the academy provides pre-commission training for Indian Air Force officer trainees. Option B — Anti-tank guided missile: This is actually associated with anti-armour missile; specifically, Nag was developed as an indigenous guided missile for engaging armoured targets. Option D — Attack helicopter: This is actually associated with rotary-wing combat platform; specifically, Apache is a dedicated attack helicopter designed for armed reconnaissance and engagement of ground targets. Exam Takeaway: Link 15 January with its exact commemorative day association for fast Indian Defence GK revision.
