TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option A: Surface-to-surface ballistic missile. India successfully test-fired the nuclear-capable Agni-4 ballistic missile on 6 August 2026 from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur, Odisha. Agni-4 is a two-stage, solid-fuel, surface-to-surface ballistic missile developed under India’s Agni missile series. Agni-4 has an operational strike range of around 4,000 kilometres and can carry a payload of approximately 1,000 kilograms. Agni-4 can be launched from a road-mobile launcher and uses an advanced re-entry heat shield to protect internal systems during atmospheric re-entry. The Strategic Forces Command conducted the Agni-4 launch, while the Defence Research and Development Organisation develops missile systems under the Agni series. India follows the doctrine of credible minimum deterrence in its nuclear policy, and Agni-4 can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads.
