Correct Answer: Guided-missile destroyerYour Answer: C
Explanation
Correct Answer: Option C — Guided-missile destroyer. Guided-missile destroyer is the accurate answer because INS Kolkata is the lead ship of an Indian Navy class of guided-missile destroyers. Why the other options are incorrect: Option A — Operation Meghdoot: This is actually associated with military operation; specifically, Operation Meghdoot was launched in April 1984 for control of strategic heights in the Siachen area. Option B — 4 December: This is actually associated with commemorative day; specifically, it recalls the Indian Navy’s role in Operation Trident during the 1971 war. Option D — Bengaluru: This is actually associated with defence public-sector enterprise; specifically, BEL is a defence electronics public-sector enterprise headquartered in Bengaluru.
