(c) Space vehicles used to carry humans
Space Launch System (SLS): This is NASA’s most powerful rocket, designed to launch the Orion spacecraft. It is currently being developed for future missions to the Moon and Mars.
Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy: These are reusable rockets developed by SpaceX. They have been used to launch astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) and are also being developed for future missions to the Moon and Mars.
Soyuz: This is a long-standing Russian spacecraft that has been used to transport astronauts to and from the ISS for decades. It is still the primary means of transportation for humans to the ISS.

(c) All three statements are correct
Digital Agriculture Mission: It is conceived as an umbrella scheme to support digital agriculture initiatives, such as creating Digital Public Infrastructure, implementing the Digital General Crop Estimation Survey (DGCES), and taking up other IT initiatives by the Central Government, State Governments, and Academic and Research Institutions.
Three major components of DPI are envisaged under the Digital Agriculture Mission: AgriStack, Krishi Decision Support System (DSS), and Soil Profile Maps.
AgriStack: The farmer-centric DPI AgriStack consists of three foundational agri-sector registries or databases: Farmers’Registry, Geo-referenced Village Maps, and Crop Sown Registry, all of which will be created and maintained by state/ UT governments.
Krishi DSS: It will create a comprehensive geospatial system to unify remote sensing-based information on crops, soil, weather, and water resources, etc.
Soil Profile Maps: Under the Mission, detailed Soil Profile Maps (on a 1:10,000 scale) of about 142 million hectares of agricultural land are envisaged to be prepared. A detailed soil profile inventory of about 29 million ha has already been completed.

(c) The underground fungal network connecting trees in forests
The “Wood Wide Web” is a fascinating concept that describes the underground network of fungi that connects trees in forests. These fungi, primarily mycorrhizal fungi, form symbiotic relationships with the roots of trees. The fungi provide trees with essential nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen, while the trees provide the fungi with carbohydrates produced through photosynthesis.
Here are some key points about the Wood Wide Web:
Symbiotic Relationship: The relationship between trees and fungi is mutually beneficial.
Nutrient Exchange: Fungi help trees obtain essential nutrients, while trees provide fungi with energy.
Communication: The Wood Wide Web is believed to facilitate communication between trees, allowing them to share information about threats, resources, and other environmental factors.
Ecosystem Stability: The Wood Wide Web plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and stability of forest ecosystems.
The concept of the Wood Wide Web has gained significant attention in recent years, as scientists continue to uncover its complexity and importance.

(b) Article 263
The Inter-State Council (ISC) is a constitutional body established under Article 263 of the Indian Constitution. The article states that the President can establish an ISC if they believe it would serve the public interest.
The ISC’s duties include:
• Investigating and discussing subjects of interest to the union, states, or both
• Advising on disputes between states
• Making recommendations for better policy coordination
The President can also define the council’s duties, organization, and procedure by order.

(c) Only three statements are correct
Drone Detect, Deter and Destroy system (D4S): The first indigenously developed anti-drone system to be inducted into the Indian Armed Forces. It is developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and manufactured by Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL). (Statement 1 is correct and 2 is incorrect)
Soft kill counter-drone system: This system uses jammers to disrupt the communication of the drones, disrupting the GPS signals or spoofing them. (Statement 3 is correct)
Indrajaal: India’s first AI-powered anti-drone system. (Statement 4 is correct).
