The correct answer is option 4, BrahMos. The BrahMos missile is a joint venture between India and Russia. The acronym "BrahMos" is derived from the names of two rivers, the Brahmaputra in India and the Moskva in Russia. The Brahmaputra is one of the major rivers in India, flowing through the northeastern part of the country, while the Moskva is a river that flows through Moscow, the capital city of Russia. The choice of these two rivers in the acronym symbolizes the collaboration and partnership between India and Russia in the development of the missile. This joint venture has allowed for the transfer of technology and expertise, leading to the creation of a highly advanced supersonic cruise missile. The BrahMos missile is known for its speed, accuracy, and destructive capabilities, making it a significant achievement in the field of defense technology.
