The correct option is B 1989: Agni
In 1988, India successfully tested Prithvi, a surface to surface ballistic missile. In the preceeding year in 1989, India successfully tested Agni, another surface to surface ballistic missile. Both these missiles can be launched at land or sea. They are initially powered by rockets post which they follow an unpowered, free-falling trajectory towards their strike targets.
