General KnowledgeDefence and Security
- AIt was conducted in the year 2018.
- BIt was led by the Indian Air Force.
- CIt was not given any name.
- DIt was sanctioned by the United Nations.
Explanation
India's surgical strikes across the Line of Control in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir were conducted by the Indian Army on 29 September 2016 - not in 2018 and not by the Air Force. The operation was not given any official codename, and it was a unilateral Indian action without United Nations sanction. Statement C is therefore correct. Hence option C is correct.
