Explanation

The Western Air Command (WAC) is the largest operational command of the Indian Air Force. Its headquarters is located at Subroto Park, New Delhi [1]. Originally established as the No. 1 Operational Group in 1947, it was renamed Operational Command in 1949 and finally designated as Western Air Command on June 10, 1963 [2]. The command is responsible for the air defense of sensitive regions including Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. While the Chief of the Air Staff is also based in New Delhi, the WAC specifically focuses on air dominance over the western and northern sectors. Other commands mentioned in the options serve different purposes: Nagpur houses the Maintenance Command, and Gandhinagar is the headquarters for the South Western Air Command.
