Which of the following is/are correctly matched in terms of equivalent rank in the three services of Indian Defence forces? <table><tr><th></th><th>Army</th><th>Airforce</th><th>Navy</th></tr><tr><td>1.</td><td>Brigadier</td><td>Air Commodore</td><td>Commander</td></tr><tr><td>2.</td><td>Major General</td><td>Air Vice Marshal</td><td>Vice Admiral</td></tr><tr><td>3.</td><td>Major</td><td>Squadron Leader</td><td>Lieutenant Commander</td></tr><tr><td>4.</td><td>Lieutenant Colonel</td><td>Group Captain</td><td>Captain</td></tr></table> Select the correct answer using the code given below:

Answer: D. Only row 3 is correctly matched. Defence rank equivalences across the three services: - Brigadier (Army) = Air Commodore (Airforce) = Commodore (Navy) NOT Commander. So row 1 is WRONG. - Major General (Army) = Air Vice Marshal (Airforce) = Rear Admiral (Navy) NOT Vice Admiral. So row 2 is WRONG. - Major (Army) = Squadron Leader (Airforce) = Lieutenant Commander (Navy). Row 3 is CORRECT. - Lieutenant Colonel (Army) = Wing Commander (Airforce, NOT Group Captain) = Commander (Navy, NOT Captain). So row 4 is WRONG. Only row 3 is correctly matched.
