Correct Answer:
A. Aircraft carrier
Explanation:
INS Vikramaditya is a modified Kiev-class aircraft carrier that serves as the flagship of the Indian Navy. Originally commissioned into the Soviet Navy in 1987 as Baku and later renamed Admiral Gorshkov, the vessel was purchased by India in 2004. It underwent an extensive five-year refurbishment process that converted it from a hybrid cruiser-carrier into a full-fledged STOBAR (Short Take-Off But Arrested Recovery) aircraft carrier. It officially entered service with the Indian Navy in 2013 and is capable of carrying up to 36 aircraft, primarily the Mikoyan MiG-29K fighter jets and various helicopters like the Kamov Ka-31.
