keywords: 

{'subsonic cruise missile': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'shankhnaad': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'nirbhay': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'astra': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'akash': [0, 1, 2, 3], 'range': [5, 0, 6, 7]}

The correct answer is option 3, Nirbhay. Nirbhay is India`s first indigenously designed and developed long-range subsonic cruise missile. This missile can be deployed from multiple platforms, which makes it a versatile weapon for the Indian armed forces.

Option 1, Astra, is incorrect. While Astra is also a missile developed by India, it is an air-to-air missile and not a long-range subsonic cruise missile like Nirbhay.

Option 2, Akash, is also incorrect. Akash is a surface-to-air missile developed by India for air defense purposes. It is not a long-range subsonic cruise missile.

Option 4, Shankhnaad, is a fabricated term. There is no missile named Shankhnaad developed by India, so it is incorrect.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option 3, Nirbhay, as it is India`s first indigenously designed and developed long-range subsonic cruise missile that can be deployed from multiple platforms.
