The given question asks which satellite was set to be launched from India in the year 1996.

Option 1, IRS-P2, is incorrect because it was an Indian remote sensing satellite that was actually launched in October 1994, and not 1996.

Option 2, IRS-P3, is the correct answer. This satellite was indeed launched in 1996 as part of India`s remote sensing program.

Option 3, IRS-EN, is not correct simply because there is no recorded Indian satellite with this particular designation.

Option 4, IRS-ID, is also an incorrect choice. This satellite, also a part of India`s remote sensing program, was launched in December 1997, not 1996.

So, the answer to this question is option 2, IRS-P3, as it aligns correctly with the time frame specified in the question.
