Solution

The correct option is A PSLV-C34
  • The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched a record 20 satellites in a single mission from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The launch included foreign satellites from Germany, Canada, the US and Japan.
  • The mission was historic double record for the ISRO’s workhorse PSLV C34 as it inserted a record number of 20 satellites into space and also proved to be reliable for double ignition while in space to take multiple satellites into different orbital heights in a single mission.
