Correct option is A

Sol: The correct answer is (a) EOS-04

Key Points:

• On February 14, 2022, ISRO successfully launched the EOS-04 satellite using the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C52) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota
• ​CMS-01 is an advanced communication satellite developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It was launched to enhance India's telecommunication and broadcasting services, making it a significant addition to India's satellite fleet.
• ​EOS-03 is an Earth Observation Satellite launched by ISRO on August 12, 2021, using the GSLV-F10 rocket. Unfortunately, the mission was unsuccessful as the satellite failed to reach orbit.
