• A. \(\text{Sentinel – 1A} \)
• B. \(\text{Sentinel – 2B} \)
• C. \(\text{Sentinel – 3} \)
• D. \(\text{Sentinel – 5R} \)

Hint:

Sentinel-3 provides ocean monitoring data, including sea surface temperature, height, and color analysis.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding Sentinel missions. - Sentinel-3 is designed for ocean monitoring, providing data on: - Sea surface temperature - Sea surface height - Ocean color and currents
Step 2: Explanation of incorrect options. - Sentinel-1A a.: Radar imaging, mainly for land applications. - Sentinel-2B b.: Optical imaging for land vegetation monitoring. - Sentinel-5R d.: Focused on atmospheric composition monitoring.
Step 3: Selecting the correct option. Since Sentinel-3 is specifically designed for ocean monitoring, the correct answer is c. Sentinel – 3.
