- A.Maritime Alliance for Harbour Safety and Growth Across Regions
- B.Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions
- C.Maritime Assistance for Humanitarian Aid, Security and Governance
- D.Mission for Advanced Harbour and Sea Guard Readiness
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions.

Alongside the expansion, remember the capability list the Minister set out: advanced platforms, underwater technologies, unmanned systems, long-endurance surveillance, satellite-enabled maritime domain awareness and secure communications. He also urged the force to work with start-ups, industry, DRDO and research institutions so that it becomes a co-creator of technology rather than only a user of it.
