Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

In the Indian Armed Forces, the rank of Commodore in the Indian Navy is a one-star rank that sits above the rank of Captain and below the two-star rank of Rear Admiral [1]. According to the established rank equivalence across the three services, a Commodore in the Navy is equivalent to a Brigadier in the Indian Army and an Air Commodore in the Indian Air Force [1]. This hierarchy ensures organizational clarity and command authority across the land, sea, and air branches. While a Colonel in the Army is equivalent to a Captain in the Navy, the Brigadier rank corresponds directly to the Commodore. This equivalence is also reflected in the Table of Precedence and pay scales, where these one-star officers hold comparable administrative and operational responsibilities within their respective services [1].
