Correct Answer:
A. Pokhran
Explanation:
India's history with nuclear testing began in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan at the Pokhran Test Range. The inaugural underground test, famously code-named Smiling Buddha or Pokhran-I, was conducted on May 18, 1974. Decades later, the site was used again for a series of five tests known as Pokhran-II (Operation Shakti) between May 11 and 13, 1998. While other locations like Sriharikota and Bengaluru are significant for space research and aerospace technology, Pokhran remains the designated site for India's nuclear explosive detonations.
