  2. B.Air Force Station, Yelahanka, Bengaluru
  3. C.Begumpet Airport, Hyderabad
  4. D.Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi

Correct answer

B. Air Force Station, Yelahanka, Bengaluru

Explanation

The correct answer is Air Force Station, Yelahanka, Bengaluru. The 16th edition of Aero India is scheduled there from 8 to 12 February 2027, in the state of Karnataka, and is organised by the Department of Defence Production under the Ministry of Defence. Option A names an air force station in the National Capital Region that hosts other military aviation events but not this one. Option C names an airport in Hyderabad which has hosted air shows in the past, which makes it a plausible distractor, but the release does not mention it. Option D is a convention centre in the capital used for summits and expositions, not an air show that requires a runway for flying displays. Remember that Aero India needs an operational airfield, because the Indian Air Force and international flying teams perform aerial displays during the five days.
