{'solitary aircraft carrier': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'indian navy': [0, 0, 2, 4], 'airfield': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'ins vikramaditya': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'ins godavari': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'ins trishul': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'ins viraat': [0, 0, 2, 1]}

The correct answer is option 1 - INS Viraat. INS Viraat is the solitary aircraft carrier of the Indian Navy. It turned 50 in 2009 and holds the distinction of being the oldest floating airfield in service.

Option 2 - INS Trishul is incorrect because it is a guided missile frigate of the Indian Navy, not an aircraft carrier.

Option 3 - INS Godavari is incorrect because it is a guided missile frigate, not an aircraft carrier.

Option 4 - INS Vikramaditya is incorrect because although it is an aircraft carrier, it is not the oldest floating airfield in service. INS Viraat holds that distinction.
