This question was previously asked in
UPSC CDS-2 – 2016
Based on the options provided and the likely context before the creation of the permanent CDS role, the correct answer is D.
Prior to the creation of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) position as the permanent Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee (COSC) in 2020, the Chairman of the COSC was traditionally the longest-serving chief among the three service chiefs (Chief of Army Staff, Chief of Naval Staff, and Chief of Air Staff). As the options do not include CDS, the question likely refers to this previous arrangement.
