Correct Answer:
B. Operation Gibraltar
The correct answer is Operation Gibraltar. This operation was launched by Pakistan in August 1965, involving the infiltration of Pakistani irregulars into Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir. The aim was to incite a local rebellion against Indian rule, which Pakistan hoped would lead to the region's liberation. However, the operation failed to achieve its objectives and escalated into the full-scale Indo-Pakistani War of 1965.
- Operation Barbarossa was Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II, completely unrelated to Pakistan or Kashmir.
- Operation Azad and Operation Kashmir are not recognized codenames for Pakistan's 1965 military action in Kashmir.
