Complete answer:
Let us analyze the given options:
Option A) This is not correct option because Exercise SURYA KIRAN-XIV, a 14-day joint military training exercise between India and Nepal, concluded today at Nepal Army Battle School (NABS), Saljhandi, Rupandehi district of Nepal, where troops from both armies practised counter-insurgency operations in jungle and mountainous terrain, as well as response mechanisms in the event of natural disasters.
Option B) This is not the correct option because the Indian Air Force's rescue operations to evacuate residents affected by the 2013 North India floods were dubbed Operation Rahat. Thousands of pilgrims in transit were trapped in several valleys in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh's hill regions.
Option C) This option is correct because the Indian Armed Forces codenamed the "armed action" Operation Vijay. It lasted over 36 hours and involved air, sea, and land strikes, and it was a significant win for India, ending Portugal's 451-year reign over its surviving slaves in India.

Therefore option ‘C’ is the correct answer.
