  1. A.INS Trishul
  2. B.INS Tabar
  3. C.INS Trikand
  4. D.INS Teg

Correct answer

A. INS Trishul

Explanation

The correct answer is INS Trishul. Indian Naval Ship Trishul is the vessel that arrived at Souda Bay in Greece on 31 October 2026, in the course of a deployment that was already under way in the Mediterranean Sea. During the call its crew is to meet senior functionaries of the Hellenic Navy and officials of the Indian Embassy in Athens, hold professional discussions, take part in cross-deck visits and cultural exchanges, and see the facilities of Naval Support Activity Souda Bay and of the NATO Maritime Interdiction Operational Training Centre. The crew is also to pay homage at the Souda Bay War Cemetery, and the ship will stay open to visitors while it is in port. Options B, C and D name other vessels, none of which is the ship associated with this particular visit to Greece, so each of them is incorrect here.
