The correct option is D) Vikram.

The lander component of India’s Chandrayaan-2 mission was named ‘Vikram’ in honour of Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, widely regarded as the father of India’s space programme. The rover carried inside the lander was named ‘Pragyan’ (meaning ‘wisdom’ in Sanskrit).

Chandrayaan-2 was ISRO’s second lunar exploration mission, launched in July 2019. The mission aimed to soft-land the Vikram lander and deploy the Pragyan rover on the lunar south pole, but communication with the lander was lost just before its planned touchdown.
