Correct:
B
Explanation
The pairs are evaluated as follows: 1. Kiran MK II: Correct. The HAL HJT-16 Kiran is an intermediate jet trainer used by the Indian Air Force's aerobatic team, 'Surya Kiran', and the Indian Navy's 'Sagar Pawan'. 2. MI 35: Correct. The Mil Mi-35 (a variant of the Mi-24 'Hind') is a dedicated attack helicopter and gunship used for anti-armor and close air support roles. 3. Mirage 2000: Incorrect. The Dassault Mirage 2000 is a multirole fighter aircraft, not a military transport aircraft [1]. It was notably used as a fighter jet for precision airstrikes during the Balakot operation in 2019 [2]. Therefore, only pairs 1 and 2 are correctly matched, making option 2 the correct choice.
