When did India conducted its First Nuclear explosion?
A28 August 1975
B18 May 1974
C28 August 1974
D18 May 1975

Correct Answer: 18 May 1974

Explanation:

India conducted its first nuclear explosion on 18 May 1974. This event was codenamed "Smiling Buddha" and marked India's entry into the nuclear club. The test was conducted at the Pokhran test range in Rajasthan.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • 28 August 1975 and 28 August 1974 are not associated with any nuclear test conducted by India.
  • 18 May 1975 is close to the correct date but occurs a year after the actual test.

Final Answer:\( \boxed{\text{18 May 1974}}\)
