Choose the correct option from the following.
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The IGMDP produced exactly five missile systems, Prithvi, Agni, Trishul, Akash and Nag, so statement 1 is correct. Nag is a third-generation fire-and-forget anti-tank guided missile that uses an imaging infrared seeker for target lock, so statement 2 is correct too. Both statements hold.
