Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

In the Indian Armed Forces, the rank of Major General in the Indian Army is a two-star general officer rank [1]. According to the established rank equivalence table, a Major General is equivalent to a Rear Admiral in the Indian Navy and an Air Vice Marshal in the Indian Air Force. Specifically, the hierarchy places Major General above Brigadier (one-star) and below Lieutenant General (three-star) [1]. While an Air Marshal is equivalent to a Lieutenant General and an Air Commodore is equivalent to a Brigadier, the Rear Admiral is the direct naval counterpart to the Army's Major General. This equivalence is critical for maintaining a unified command structure and protocol across the three services of the Indian Defence Forces.
