Which one of the following statements correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Alliance Air was created as a wholly‑owned subsidiary of Indian Airlines, established to operate regional/shuttle services — this is stated in the book extract and corroborated by a web history note [1]. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) is a civil aviation infrastructure body responsible for creating, upgrading and managing airports (it manages well over a hundred airports), not a regulator; it builds and manages aerodrome infrastructure [2]. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is the statutory regulatory body that enforces civil aviation regulations, airworthiness and safety standards [2]. Therefore option (1) is correct; the other statements conflate the roles of AAI and DGCA.
