Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark II (GSLV-Mk II)

Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV)

Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (LVM-3)

Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 1 -> GSLV-Mk II is designed for heavier geostationary satellites, not used for these missions.

Option 2 -> SSLV is a recent development for small satellite launches, introduced after both missions.

Option 3 -> LVM-3 (formerly GSLV Mk III) is a heavy-lift launcher used for later missions like Chandrayaan-2 and Chandrayaan-3.

Option 4 -> PSLV is India's reliable workhorse launcher that successfully deployed both missions.

Hence, Option 4: Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) -> Chandrayaan-1 was launched by PSLV-C11 in 2008, and Mangalyaan was launched by PSLV-C25 in 2013. PSLV has been India's most dependable launcher with an excellent success rate. -> correct
