Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

In the context of India's defence, 'Surat' and 'Udaygiri' refer to frontline warships launched for the Indian Navy in May 2022 [1][2]. 'Surat' is the fourth and final guided-missile destroyer of the Visakhapatnam-class (Project 15B), designed to attack other surface vessels [1]. 'Udaygiri', named after a mountain range in Andhra Pradesh, is the third stealth frigate of the Nilgiri-class (Project 17A) [2]. These vessels were built at Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) in Mumbai [1][2]. Project 17A frigates are follow-ons to the Shivalik-class, featuring improved stealth, advanced sensors, and indigenous weaponry. While 'Surat' is a destroyer and 'Udaygiri' is a frigate, both are categorized as warships within the Indian Navy's fleet expansion and modernization programs [1][2].
