The correct option is C.

Central Paramilitary Forces (CPMFs), now often referred to as Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), are primarily under the administrative control of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). These include the Border Security Force (BSF), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), National Security Guard (NSG), and Assam Rifles (AR).
Ladakh Scouts is a regiment of the Indian Army, which falls under the Ministry of Defence (MoD), not the MHA.

Assam Rifles is a unique force administered by the MHA but under the operational control of the MoD (Indian Army). NSG is a special force primarily for counter-terrorism operations, also under MHA. The others listed (BSF, CRPF, CISF) are standard CAPFs under MHA. Regiments like Ladakh Scouts are integral parts of the Indian Army structure.
