Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

‘Red Flag’ is a premier advanced aerial combat training exercise hosted by the United States Air Force (USAF) [2]. It is primarily held at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada and is designed to provide realistic air-to-air and air-to-ground combat training for military pilots from the US and its allied nations [2]. The Indian Air Force (IAF) first participated in this high-intensity exercise in 2008, deploying Su-30MKI fighters, IL-78 tankers, and IL-76 transport aircraft to demonstrate its global reach and interoperability with major powers. India has since participated in subsequent iterations, such as Red Flag 16, to imbibe operational lessons and showcase its capability in integrated air operations. While it is a multinational exercise, it is fundamentally a US-led initiative, making the USA the correct partner country among the options provided [1].
