C Correct answer
Explanation

ONGC (Oil and Natural Gas Corporation) launched the 'Sagar Samriddhi' project to enhance offshore oil exploration and production capabilities in India's territorial waters. This deep-water drilling project aimed to increase India's domestic crude oil production and reduce import dependence. IOC, IBP, and HPCL are refining and marketing companies, not primarily exploration-focused.
