QUESTION
Mission Shakti is related with?
OPTIONS
(A) Women Empowerment
(B) Anti-Satellite weapon
(C) Nuclear energy
(D) Support for divyaangs
ANSWER
(B) Anti-Satellite weapon
EXPLANATION
Mission Shakti was the name given to India's 2019 anti-satellite (ASAT) missile test, in which a live satellite in low Earth orbit was successfully targeted. Women empowerment programmes may also use the phrase 'Mission Shakti' in other contexts, but the nationally prominent mission referred to in this question is the ASAT test; nuclear energy and support for persons with disabilities are unrelated. Therefore, option (B), anti-satellite weapon, is correct.
