This question was previously asked in
RPF SI 2018 Question Paper PDF (10-Jan-2019) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

South Gangotri

Dakshin Gangotri (written here as South Gangotri) was India's first scientific research base in Antarctica, set up in 1983 during the third Indian expedition to the continent.

It was later decommissioned and turned into a supply base; India's present Antarctic stations are Maitri (1989) and Bharati (2012).

Himadri (written here as Hemadri) is India's research station in the Arctic, at Ny-Alesund in Svalbard, Norway, not in Antarctica. The Himalayas are a mountain range and Yamunotri is the source of the Yamuna river in Uttarakhand.

Hence, the Indian research centre in Antarctica is South Gangotri (Dakshin Gangotri).
