Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Exercise 'Maitree' is an annual bilateral military exercise conducted between the Indian Army and the Royal Thai Army. Initiated in 2006, the exercise is held alternately in India and Thailand to enhance operational capabilities and coordination in joint counter-terrorism operations, particularly in semi-urban environments. For instance, the 13th edition was held in Tak Province, Thailand, in July 2024, while the 14th edition took place in Umroi, Meghalaya, in September 2025. While India and Bangladesh share several initiatives with similar names, such as the 'Maitree Super Thermal Power Project' and the 'Maitree' train service, their primary joint military exercise is 'Sampriti' [1]. Therefore, 'Maitree' as a joint military exercise specifically refers to the partnership between India and Thailand [2].
