C Correct answer
Explanation

The GTRE Kaveri engine was originally planned to power the HAL Tejas Light Combat Aircraft. It was being developed indigenously by India's Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) to reduce dependency on foreign engines. However, due to technical challenges and delays, the Tejas currently uses the GE 404 engine. The Kaveri project remains important for India's self-reliance in defense technology.
