The correct answer is B) INS Nishank and INS Akshay.

Indian Naval Ships INS Nishank, a missile vessel, and INS Akshay, a corvette, were decommissioned in Mumbai on June 3, 2022, after rendering 32 years of service to the nation. This event marked the end of their operational lifespan in the Indian Navy.

INS Nishank (K43) was a Veer-class missile vessel, commissioned in 1990. INS Akshay (P35) was a Abhay-class corvette, also commissioned in 1990. Decommissioning is a process by which a ship is removed from active naval service. The other options list ships that were either decommissioned earlier (e.g., INS Ganga, INS Gomati, INS Ranjit, INS Khukri in late 2021) or later (e.g., INS Sandhayak was decommissioned in 2021 and a new vessel of the same name commissioned in 2024).
