The correct answer is D, as the Andaman and Nicobar Command was not set up by the British during the Second World War.
The Andaman and Nicobar Command (ANC) is India’s first and only tri-service theatre command, integrating assets and personnel from the Indian Army, Indian Navy, and Indian Air Force under a single operational commander. It was established on October 8, 2001, following recommendations made after the Kargil War.
The ANC is headquartered at Port Blair. It is commanded by a three-star officer (designated as Commander-in-Chief, Andaman and Nicobar Command – CINCAN) who rotates among the three services. The command is responsible for the defence of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and enhancing India’s strategic reach in the Bay of Bengal and the Malacca Strait.
