Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The PSLV C34 mission, launched on September 22, 2016, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, successfully deployed 20 Indian satellites and two foreign satellites into orbit. This historic feat marked the first time in ISRO's history that a single rocket launch carried such a large number of satellites. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) achieved this milestone, demonstrating its capability in multi-satellite deployment. NASA is the United States space agency, Roscosmos is Russia's space agency, and CSA is Canada's space agency; none of these organizations conducted this specific launch. Therefore, the correct answer is ISRO (Option C), as it was an indigenous Indian achievement that set a new record for the organization.
