D
Correct answer
Explanation
Bharat Cooking Coal (BCCL) and Steel Authority of India (SAIL) formed a joint venture focused on coal mining operations. This makes strategic sense as SAIL requires coking coal for steel production, and BCCL has mining expertise. The JV was established to ensure coal security for SAIL's steel plants. Locomotives, oil exploration, and publishing are unrelated to these companies' core competencies.
