Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The 'C-Bot' is an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) specifically designed for the long-term monitoring and surveillance of coral reefs [1]. It is an indigenously developed robotic platform capable of reaching depths of up to 200 meters, which allows it to scan the profound depths of the Indian Ocean and provide critical data on reef health [1]. This technological advancement was developed by the Goa-based National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), which is a constituent laboratory of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) [1]. The vehicle was officially launched in early 2024 by the Director General of CSIR to enhance India's marine research and conservation efforts [1]. By automating the monitoring process, C-Bot reduces the reliance on traditional diver-mediated surveys, providing more consistent sea truth data for ecological studies. Therefore, both statements regarding its function and its developers are correct.
