The correct answer is A) Officers Training Academy. The Officers Training Academy (OTA) is primarily an institution that trains officers for a specific service, predominantly the Army, although it might have courses for other services.

– An Inter-Services Establishment (ISE) is an organisation comprising personnel from more than one of the three main services (Army, Navy, Air Force) and functioning under an integrated command structure.
– National Defence Academy (NDA), National Defence College (NDC), and Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC) are all classic examples of Inter-Services Establishments where personnel from the three services serve together or receive joint training/education.
– Officers Training Academy (OTA) typically trains officers for a single service stream, distinguishing it from the joint nature of the other institutions listed.

ISEs facilitate jointness and integration among the Indian armed forces. NDA is a joint training academy for cadets entering the three services. NDC is a premier institution for strategic training for senior officers from all services and civil services. AFMC trains medical professionals for all three services. OTA, while a crucial training institution, focuses on single-service training streams.
