Correct Answer: General Bipin RawatYour Answer: B

Explanation

Correct Answer: Option B — **General Bipin Rawat**. **General Bipin Rawat** is the accurate answer because he assumed office as the first Chief of Defence Staff on 1 January 2020. This identifying fact establishes its correct connection with historic appointment and distinguishes it from the other defence-related choices.
