Accepted Answer

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched Chandrayaan-3 in July 2023. The primary objective was to demonstrate safe and soft landing capability on the lunar surface and to conduct in-situ scientific experiments. Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed near the lunar south pole on August 23, 2023, making India the fourth country to achieve a soft landing on the Moon. Therefore, the answer is B.

Question 2

Which Indian space mission successfully demonstrated India's capability to soft-land on the Moon and deploy a rover on its surface?
