The correct option is C.

The Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry (JAK LI) is a regiment of the Indian Army. It is an infantry regiment primarily composed of soldiers from Jammu and Kashmir. Regiments of the Indian Army fall under the administrative and operational control of the Ministry of Defence. It is not a Central Paramilitary Force (under MHA) or a state-maintained force.

The JAK LI was formed in 1948 during the Indo-Pakistani War and was integrated into the Indian Army in 1972. It is known for its service in various operations, including counter-insurgency roles. As a regiment of the regular army, its personnel, training, and command structure are part of the Indian Army system.
