General KnowledgeDefence and Security
- ALaunch of multiple satellites using a single rocket
- BLaunch of heavy satellites
- CUse of high power rockets in launching of satellites
- DUse of rocket to destroy an orbiting satellite
Explanation
Mission Shakti, conducted by DRDO in March 2019, was India's anti-satellite (ASAT) missile test. A ballistic missile interceptor destroyed the orbiting Microsat-R satellite in low earth orbit, demonstrating the capability to neutralize enemy satellites. It was not about launching multiple or heavy satellites, nor about high-power launch vehicles. Hence option D is correct.
