- GSLV is a three-stage vehicle. - The first stage utilizes solid rocket boosters (strap-ons) and a liquid-fueled core stage (in Mk II). Thus, solid motors are used. - The second stage uses earth- storable liquid propellants. - The third stage uses cryogenic propellants. - Option A simplifies this structure by listing the presence of these three types of propulsion systems across the stages.
