Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

All four organisations are under the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE). The Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research (AMD) is explicitly described as one of the oldest units of DAE and part of its role in the nuclear fuel cycle [1]. The official DAE organisation structure lists AMD and, under Public Sector Undertakings/Industries, names the Heavy Water Board, IREL (Indian Rare Earths Ltd) and Uranium Corporation of India Ltd, indicating they are administered under or associated with DAE [2]. Departmental/budget documents further show investments and PSU listings that include IREL and UCIL under DAE’s administrative control, reaffirming that all four entities operate within the DAE framework [3].
