Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) Arjun
Arjun is India’s indigenously-developed third-generation main battle tank, whereas Bhim is a self-propelled artillery system, Akash is a surface-to-air missile and Prithvi is a ballistic missile. Therefore ‘Arjun’ is the only option that is actually a modern tank. ([licchavilyceum.com](https://licchavilyceum.com/upsc-civil-services-prelims-1996-solved-question-paper/))
