How many Sea Riders embarked on the Indian Coast Guard ship for the QUAD-at-Sea Ship Observer Mission?
- A.Four
- B.Six
- C.Eight
- D.Ten
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is six. The officers who boarded the ship for the passage are called Sea Riders, and the split is worth memorising because a paper setter can ask about it directly: India and Japan contributed two officers each, while Australia and the United States contributed one officer each, which adds up to six in all. Option A is wrong because four would leave out one of the pairs; option C and option D are wrong because no additional officers were embarked beyond the six named. On board, these officers take part in shipboard activities and professional exchanges meant to improve coordination between the maritime forces of the four countries and to build trust, so that joint responses at sea become easier when a real situation arises.
