The correct answer is (b) Tejas.<\/p>\n

Tejas is a single-engine, lightweight multirole combat aircraft developed by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) of India. It is the first indigenously developed fourth-generation fighter aircraft of India. The aircraft is named after the word “Tejas” which means “radiance” or “glow” in Sanskrit.<\/p>\n

The Tejas was designed to meet the operational requirements of the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the Indian Navy (IN). It is capable of undertaking a variety of missions, including air superiority, ground attack, and reconnaissance. The aircraft is also equipped with a variety of weapons, including air-to-air missiles, air-to-surface missiles, and bombs.<\/p>\n

The Tejas has been in service with the IAF since 2016. The IN is expected to receive its first Tejas aircraft in 2022.<\/p>\n
