The question asks which rank of the Indian Navy is equivalent to the rank in the other branches of the Indian Armed Forces.

Option 1 states that the rank of Captain in the Indian Navy is equivalent to the rank of Captain in the Indian Army. This is incorrect. The equivalent rank in the Indian Army for a Captain in the Indian Navy is a Major in the Indian Army.

Option 2 states that the rank of Captain in the Indian Navy is equivalent to the rank of Group Captain in the Indian Air Force. This is the correct answer. A Group Captain is a higher rank in the Indian Air Force and is equivalent to the rank of Captain in the Indian Navy.

Option 3 states that the rank of Captain in the Indian Navy is equivalent to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Indian Army. This is incorrect. Lieutenant Colonel is a higher rank in the Indian Army and is equivalent to Commander in the Indian Navy.

Option 4 states that the rank of Captain in the Indian Navy is equivalent to the rank of Wing Commander in the Indian Air Force. This is incorrect. Wing Commander is a lower rank in the Indian Air Force and is equivalent to Lieutenant Commander in the Indian Navy.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.
