Which operation focuses on border protection and offshore maritime interests?

• A. Operation Paladin
• B. Operation Solania
• C. Operation Resolute
• D. Operation Render Safe

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is identifying which operation is dedicated to protecting Australia’s borders and its offshore maritime interests. Operation Resolute is the border protection mission, coordinating naval and air assets, along with collaboration with other agencies, to monitor and safeguard Australia’s maritime approaches, territorial waters, and offshore resources. It covers tasks such as surveillance, interdiction of unauthorized movements, and protecting offshore assets and critical maritime infrastructure.

The other named operations do not focus on border protection in the maritime domain. For example, one is about handling explosive threats (rendering safe ordnance), while the remaining names refer to missions with different purposes.
