Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

INS Arihant is India's first nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) [t1][t4]. It was developed under the Advanced Technology Vessel (ATV) project and was launched in 2009, eventually being commissioned in August 2016 [t5][t9]. Statement I is correct as it is India's first indigenous nuclear submarine, completing India's nuclear triad [t5][t8]. Statement II is incorrect because INS Arihant is a submarine, not an aircraft carrier; India's first indigenous aircraft carrier is the INS Vikrant [t2][t6]. Statement III is correct as the vessel was indigenously designed and built at the Ship Building Centre in Visakhapatnam by the DRDO and other Indian agencies [t5][t7]. Therefore, statements I and III are correct, making option 3 (T and III only, where 'T' is a typographical error for 'I') the intended correct choice.
