Which launcher was used for Chandrayaan-3?
  1. a.GSLV
  2. b.LVSM
  3. c.GSLV-MK 3
  4. d.PSLV

No option is correct as printed — this question is disputed. WBPSC awarded the mark to all candidates: launcher was LVM3 (formerly GSLV Mk III); (C) is the old name and (B) 'LVSM' appears to be a misprint of LVM3, so two options are arguable.

Chandrayaan-3 was launched on 14 July 2023 by LVM3-M4, the rocket formerly called GSLV Mk III. Option (C) gives the old name and (B) looks like a misprint of LVM3, so more than one option could be marked correct, and the Commission awarded the mark to all candidates.
