    The Indian Remote Sensing satellite (IRS)
    A. Look over a fixed point at the same local point.
    B. Are at a low altitude (<1000 km)
    C. Are used for weather forecasting.
    D. Have large agricultural and natural resource applications.

    B, D and E only

    D.

    A, D and E only

    Correct option is A


    The IRS satellites are polar sun-synchronous satellites designed for earth observation and typically operate at low altitudes (~850 km). They monitor a fixed point at regular intervals and are extensively used for agriculture, forestry, land use, and water resources. They are not used for weather forecasting (that’s for INSAT satellites) or telecommunication.
