Consider the following about Scorpene-class submarines and identify the incorrect statement:

The submarines are built with the French technology at the Mazagaon Dock Ltd in Mumbai.

The Scorpene-class submarines are a class of diesel-electric attack submarines jointly developed by the French Direction des Constructions Navales (DCN) and the Spanish company Navantia, and now by DCNS.

All the six submarines under this class will be equipped with the Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) system, which will enable them to stay underwater for longer duration.

None of the above

Explanation:

The Scorpène-class submarines are a class of diesel-electric attack submarines jointly developed by the French Direction des Constructions Navales (DCN) and the Spanish company Navantia, and now by DCNS. It features diesel propulsion and an additional air-independent propulsion (AIP).
In 2005, India chose the Scorpène design; purchasing six submarines. Under a technology transfer agreement, the state-owned Mazagon Docks in Mumbai will manufacture the submarines.
India plans to incorporate the DRDO-developed air independent propulsion (AIP) system onto the last two submarines being built and also to equip the P75I submarines, of which the DCNS is participating in the tender process.
In other words, in 2005 the Indian Navy ordered six Scorpène-class: all the Indian boats will be built in India, at Mazagon Dock and elsewhere, and only the last two are to be fitted with an Indian Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) system. Hence, statement (c) is incorrect.
