The correct option is B INSAT 1-B
In August 1983, the satellite INSAT 1-B was launched in space. This satellite brought forth a major revolution in India in the areas of telecommunication, television, radio, weather forecasting and space research. It helped in connecting 207 Akashwani or Radio stations to each other. It also helped in search and rescue operations during disasters.
