The code name for the Indian Air Force operations during the Kargil Conflict of 1999 was Operation Safed Sagar. Let`s analyze each option to understand why the correct answer is option 4.

Option 1: Operation Vijay - This operation was the overall code name for the Indian Army`s operations during the Kargil Conflict. It did not specifically pertain to the Indian Air Force.

Option 2: Operation Meghdoot - This operation was launched in 1984 to secure the Siachen Glacier in the northern part of the Kashmir region. It was not related to the Kargil Conflict.

Option 3: Operation Indradhanush - This operation was the code name for the Indian Air Force`s strike in 1999 against terrorist training camps inside Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. It was not directly related to the Kargil Conflict.

Option 4: Operation Safed Sagar - This was the correct answer. It was the code name for the Indian Air Force`s operations specifically during the Kargil Conflict. The aim of Operation Safed Sagar was to provide air support to the Indian Army and neutralize Pakistani positions in the Kargil region.

In conclusion, option 4, Operation Safed Sagar, is the correct answer
