Solution

The correct option is B Indian Space Research Organisation
The above mentioned organisation refers to Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It was established in 1969. It superseded Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) established in 1962 for upper atmospheric research. In the process, it has become one of the six largest space agencies in the world. Over time, it has developed cost-efficient and reliable launch systems in the form of Polar Satellite Launch Vehicles (PSLV) and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicles (GSLV). It endeavours to optimise and enhance its technologies as the needs and ambitions of the country evolve.
