The Correct Option is C

Approach Solution - 1

This question is about the name of the third India-Australia naval exercise held at Visakhapatnam.

  1. Vajra Prahar: This exercise involves India and the United States, not Australia.
  2. Cobra Gold: This is a multinational exercise centred in Thailand, unrelated to the bilateral India-Australia naval drill.
  3. Ausindex 19: AUSINDEX is the established name for the India-Australia bilateral maritime exercise, and its third edition took place off Visakhapatnam in 2019.
  4. Ausind 19: This option misspells the exercise's actual name, which is AUSINDEX.

The correct answer is Ausindex 19, the correctly named third edition of the exercise.

Approach Solution -2

Only one of these four names actually belongs to a bilateral India-Australia naval exercise, so ruling out the exercises tied to other countries or spelled incorrectly is the quickest route to the answer.

  1. Vajra Prahar: An India-US special forces exercise, not connected to Australia at all.
  2. Cobra Gold: A Thailand-hosted multinational exercise, unrelated to the bilateral India-Australia naval drill described here.
  3. Ausindex 19: This is the genuine, correctly spelled name of the India-Australia bilateral maritime exercise, whose third edition took place off Visakhapatnam in 2019.
  4. Ausind 19: A misspelling of AUSINDEX rather than a distinct exercise, so it does not refer to a real event under this name.

The correct answer is Ausindex 19, the correctly named third edition of the India-Australia naval exercise.
