Solution

The correct option is D Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle
The satellite launch vehicle in the given question is the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). The GSLV is capable of carrying heavier satellites into outer space when compared to the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). The GSLV Mark-III is the most powerful satellite launch vehicle developed by ISRO till date. It carried the Chandrayan-2 to its designated orbit and was given the title of "India's Bahubali" for its advanced capabilities.
