Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) operates under a multi-faceted mandate for maritime security. Firstly, the Director General of the Indian Coast Guard is designated as the Chairman of the Offshore Security Coordination Authority (OSCA), which is responsible for the security of offshore installations like oil rigs. Secondly, following the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, the ICG was designated as the Lead Intelligence Agency (LIA) for coastal and sea borders to streamline intelligence sharing among various stakeholders. Thirdly, while the Indian Navy is responsible for overall maritime security, the ICG has the primary mandate for coastal security in territorial waters, which extend up to 12 nautical miles from the baseline [1]. The ICG also monitors the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), which extends up to 200 nautical miles [1]. Thus, all three statements regarding its roles in offshore coordination, intelligence, and territorial water security are correct.
