  3. CSaras: Indigenous developed civilian passenger aircraft
  4. DOperation: New Indian Naval Base at Karwar Seabird

Explanation

Option B is the correct answer because Phalcon is not a cruise missile. It is an Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AWACS) radar system. Furthermore, it was not supplied by Russia; it was developed by Israel and integrated into Russian IL 76 aircraft for the Indian Air Force. The other pairs are correctly matched. Arjun is Indias indigenous Main Battle Tank. Saras is Indias first indigenous multi purpose civilian aircraft. Project Seabird is the code name for the construction of the major Indian Naval Base at Karwar.
