Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

Exercise MILAN is a biennial multilateral naval exercise initiated by the Indian Navy in 1995 [2]. Statement 1 is correct as it is a gathering of navies from various countries, primarily from the Indian Ocean and Indo-Pacific regions, to promote maritime cooperation [2]. Statement 2 is incorrect because, while it was originally held at the Andaman and Nicobar Command, recent major editions (MILAN 2022 and 2024) were conducted at Visakhapatnam, not Chennai [1]. Statement 3 is incorrect because MILAN is a broad multilateral naval exercise focusing on maritime security and cooperation rather than being specifically a 'joint anti-terrorism exercise' [2]. Statement 4 is correct as a primary objective of the exercise is to enhance interoperability among participating navies through professional interaction and sea-phase maneuvers. Therefore, statements 1 and 4 are correct.
