Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Collaboration vs. indigenous.
Tarapur (Maharashtra) was built with U.S. assistance; Rajasthan (Rana Pratap Sagar/Rawatbhata) with Canadian help.
Step 2: Indigenous build.
Narora APS (Uttar Pradesh) housed India’s first fully indigenously designed and constructed PHWR units (220 MWe).
