This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 2 Paper 1 Question Paper (19-Jan-2026)
The correct answer is

Navigation satellite - Forest fire monitoring

Option C is the incorrect match. Navigation satellites (e.g., GPS, NAVIC) are used for positioning, navigation, and timing — not for forest fire monitoring.

Forest fire monitoring is done by remote sensing satellites, which carry sensors to detect heat signatures and land cover changes.

The other options are correctly matched: Weather satellites track cyclones; Communication satellites broadcast TV; Remote sensing satellites are used for land use mapping.
