  1. A500 km
  2. B2000 kmCorrect
  3. C3500 km
  4. D5000 km

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the Agni-II is a medium-range ballistic missile developed by India as part of its Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme. It has a strike range of 2000 to 2500 kilometers. In contrast, Agni-I has a shorter range of around 700 to 900 kilometers, while Agni-III and Agni-V cover much longer distances of 3500 kilometers and over 5000 kilometers respectively. Therefore, 2000 km is the most accurate description for the Agni-II missile.
