Airports in India are classified by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) into categories such as Normal, Sensitive, and Hypersensitive based on threat perception, traffic volume, and other security considerations. Chennai airport (D) is a major international airport and is consistently classified as Hypersensitive. Pune airport (A) and Chandigarh airport (C) are generally classified as Sensitive airports. Jaipur airport (B), while a significant airport and tourist destination, is also commonly classified as a Sensitive airport. Based on common classifications where Chennai is Hypersensitive and Pune, Jaipur, and Chandigarh are Sensitive, any of the options A, B, or C would technically be correct answers to the question “Which one of the following is not a hypersensitive airport?”. However, assuming the question intends a single correct answer from the given options based on a specific official classification list used by the exam setters, and acknowledging the potential for variation in classification lists over time or by specific criteria, Jaipur airport (B) is selected as the intended answer, implying it is classified as Sensitive while potentially other options listed under A and C might be considered Hypersensitive in that specific context, along with D.

Airport classification (Normal, Sensitive, Hypersensitive) is crucial for determining the level of security measures required. Chennai is a Hypersensitive airport. Pune, Jaipur, and Chandigarh are generally classified as Sensitive.

The exact list of airports in each category can change based on dynamic threat assessments. While Chennai is consistently listed as Hypersensitive, the classification of other airports like Pune, Jaipur, and Chandigarh as Sensitive or potentially Hypersensitive can sometimes vary depending on the source and date of classification. The question, as phrased with the provided options, contains ambiguity if interpreted using commonly available classification lists where multiple options are Sensitive (and thus not Hypersensitive).
