Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Andaman and Nicobar Command (ANC) is India's first and only fully functional integrated tri-service theater command [2]. Established on October 8, 2001, following recommendations from the Kargil Review Committee, it was created to enhance jointness and operational synergy among the different branches of the armed forces. The command is a unified structure that comprises elements from the Indian Army, Indian Navy, Indian Air Force, and the Indian Coast Guard. It is headed by a three-star officer, designated as the Commander-in-Chief, Andaman and Nicobar Command (CINCAN), who is appointed from the three services on a rotational basis [1]. The command's primary role is to ensure the safety and security of the strategically vital Andaman Sea region and the surrounding maritime territory. Personnel serving in this joint-service organization are drawn from across all services, and the commander exercises unified disciplinary and administrative powers over them.
