Approach Solution -2

This can be worked out by recalling which Indian telecom operator was behind the AAE-1 cable project described in the question.

  1. Option A (Vodafone): Vodafone operates extensively in the Indian telecom market, but it was not the operator credited with launching the AAE-1 cable for India, so this option is incorrect.
  2. Option B (AT&T): AT&T is a major international telecom player and a member of the wider AAE-1 consortium, but it was not the company credited with bringing this cable's connectivity to India.
  3. Option C (Airtel): Airtel is one of India's largest telecom operators, yet it was not the company that launched this particular cable for the country.
  4. Option D (Reliance Jio Infocomm): Reliance Jio Infocomm brought the AAE-1 submarine cable's connectivity into India, linking Marseille in France to Hong Kong across roughly 25,000 kilometres with numerous landing points, supporting the country's growing high-speed data needs.

Since Reliance Jio Infocomm is the operator credited with this launch in India, option (D) is confirmed.

Hence, the correct answer is Reliance Jio Infocomm.
