Answer: (B)

Operation Shakti was India’s nuclear tests in Pokhran, Rajasthan in May 1998, collectively known as Pokhran-II. This moment marked India’s emergence as a declared nuclear-armed nation and reshaped regional security dynamics, prompting international reactions and sanctions and signaling a deterrence posture in South Asia. It is not related to a space mission, an economic policy, or a disaster relief operation.
