Options:

Operation Vikrant

Operation Blue Star

Operation White Sea

Operation Sea Hawk

Correct Answer:

Operation Blue Star

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Operation Blue Star

" In June 1984, the Government of India carried out ‘Operation Blue Star’, code name for army action in the Golden Temple. In this operation, the Government could successfully flush out the militants, but it also damaged the historic temple and deeply hurt the sentiments of the Sikhs. A large proportion of Sikhs in India and abroad saw the military operation as an attack on their faith and this gave further impetus to militant and extremist groups.  "
