    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: A

    Statement 1 is correct: announcing the Mission on 15 August 2025, the Prime Minister called it a powerful weapon system that will neutralise the enemy's attack and also hit back. The Chief of Defence Staff later described it as both a shield and a sword, built to detect and neutralise enemy air vectors, with threats ranging from fighter aircraft and drones to ballistic missiles. Statement 2 is correct: the Mission aims at a quick, accurate and effective defence response, and the speech stresses a precise system researched, developed and made in India, which is the strategic-autonomy point. Statement 3 is correct: the Prime Minister said that by 2035 all important places of the nation, strategic as well as civilian areas such as hospitals, railways and centres of faith, will get complete security cover, and that he wants to expand this national security shield so that every citizen feels safe. Hence 1, 2 and 3.
