Solution

The correct option is A 1 and 2
Satellite Launch Vehicles(SLV) are generally characterized by their payload into PSLV and GSLV. PSLV has a 4-stage rocket engine (solid-liquid-solid-liquid) whereas GSLV is a three-stage launcher that uses one solid rocket motor stage, one Earth storable liquid stage, and one cryogenic stage. GSLV MK-II is designed to inject 2 - 2.5 Tonne class of satellites into GTO.
