Identify the incorrect match of satellite type and application:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Navigation satellite - Forest fire monitoring.
Navigation satellites (like GPS or India's NavIC) are designed to provide precise positioning, timing, and navigation data. They help users determine their exact location on Earth. Monitoring forest fires is actually a function of Remote Sensing or Earth Observation satellites, which use thermal and infrared sensors to detect heat signatures and smoke from space. Therefore, while a navigation satellite can help firemen find their way, it cannot "monitor" the fire's growth.
