Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Russian Rocket Launching Station, Cosmodrome **

Aryabhata, India’s first satellite, was launched on 19 April 1975 from the Kapustin Yar Cosmodrome in the former Soviet Union using a Kosmos-3M rocket.

It was not launched from India’s own Sriharikota (which came later with the SLV program).
