Correct option is D
The correct answer is (d) Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle.
· The Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) is an expendable launch vehicle developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to launch satellites into geosynchronous transfer orbits.
· It is specifically designed to place heavier payloads (up to 2,500 kg) into geostationary orbit, which is approximately 36,000 kilometers above Earth.
· The GSLV uses both solid and liquid propulsion systems, and its development marked a significant milestone for India in terms of launching communication and weather satellites. The GSLV has successfully launched several critical missions for ISRO, including the launch of the GSAT series of satellites.
