CNew Delhi
DBallistic missile family
Correct Answer: Operation VijayYour Answer: B

Explanation

Correct Answer: Option B — **Operation Vijay**. **Operation Vijay** is the accurate answer because Operation Vijay was the Indian military effort to evict infiltrating forces from occupied positions in the Kargil sector. This identifying fact establishes its correct connection with military operation and distinguishes it from the other defence-related choices. Why the other options are incorrect: Option A — **Surya Kiran**: This is actually associated with army exercise; specifically, Surya Kiran is a recurring joint training exercise between the armies of India and Nepal. Option C — **New Delhi**: This is actually associated with headquarters; specifically, the Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff functions in the national capital as a tri-service organisation. Option D — **Ballistic missile family**: This is actually associated with strategic missile; specifically, Agni denotes a family of Indian surface-launched ballistic missiles with different ranges. Exam Takeaway: Link **Operation Vijay** with its exact **military operation** association for fast **Indian Defence GK** revision.

Important Notes

  • **Identity:** Operation Vijay is associated with military operation.
  • **Key fact:** Operation Vijay was the Indian military effort to evict infiltrating forces from occupied positions in the Kargil sector.
  • **Exam trap:** Check whether the question asks about a service, institution, missile role, platform, operation or exercise before choosing a similarly familiar defence term.
