Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Agni-P (Agni-Prime) is a new-generation, two-stage, solid-fueled ballistic missile developed by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) [1]. It is a canister-launched, road-mobile system designed to replace older variants like Agni-I and Agni-II [1]. According to official test reports and technical specifications, the Agni-P has a range capability between 1,000 and 2,000 km [1]. This medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) features advanced upgrades, including a maneuverable reentry vehicle (MaRV) and improved composite motor casings, which significantly reduce its weight compared to the Agni-III [1]. The missile is intended to provide the Strategic Forces Command with enhanced operational flexibility and swift reaction capabilities. Its successful flight tests in 2021 confirmed its ability to strike targets within this specific 1,000–2,000 km range [1].
