The correct answer is option 3: Tejas. Tejas is the name of the new combat aircrafts that were handed over to the Indian Air Force by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited in 2016. Tejas is an indigenously designed and manufactured light combat aircraft. The aircraft has been developed by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) in collaboration with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).

Option 1: Marut. Marut is an incorrect option as it is not the name of the combat aircrafts handed over to the Indian Air Force in 2016.

Option 2: Garud. Garud is also an incorrect option as it is not the name of the combat aircrafts handed over to the Indian Air Force in 2016. Garud is actually the name of the special forces unit of the Indian Air Force.

Option 4: Pushpak. Pushpak is an incorrect option as it is not the name of the combat aircrafts handed over to the Indian Air Force in 2016. Pushpak is actually a mythical flying vehicle mentioned in ancient Hindu scriptures.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3: Tejas.
