The correct answer is (c) Jet Airways.
Jet Airways, once one of India's largest private airlines, ceased operations temporarily in April 2019 due to severe financial difficulties, including an inability to pay lenders, lessors, and staff salaries.
The airline suspended all domestic and international flights on April 17, 2019, after failing to secure emergency funding.

Jet Airways was founded in 1993 and became a major player in India's aviation sector.
