  1. A.Vani Rao
  2. B.Ruchira Kamboj
  3. C.Taranjit Singh Sandhu
  4. D.Harsh Vardhan Shringla

Correct answer

A. Vani Rao

Explanation

The correct answer is Vani Rao. As Ambassador of India to Italy she went aboard INS Trishul at Civitavecchia and met the ship's company, and she attended the cultural event hosted on the deck along with Vice Admiral Aurelio De Carolis, Fleet Commander and CINCNAV of the Italian Navy. That gathering also brought in the Mayor of Civitavecchia, senior officers of the Italian Navy and Coast Guard, defence envoys from 13 nations, civil dignitaries and members of the Indian diaspora. Options B, C and D name other senior Indian diplomats who have held important posts abroad, which is what makes them plausible here, but none of them is the Ambassador to Italy associated with this port call. The visit ended on 28 October 2026.
