Identify the incorrectly matched pair of satellite category and its primary application:

1. Meteorological satellite — Monsoon and cloud pattern monitoring
2. Navigation satellite — Positioning and timing services
3. Reconnaissance satellite — Ocean salinity measurement
4. Earth observation satellite — Crop and soil assessment

Correct answer: Reconnaissance satellite — Ocean salinity measurement

Solution

Meteorological satellites monitor weather systems, navigation satellites provide positioning and timing, and Earth observation satellites help assess crops and soil. Reconnaissance satellites are used for surveillance and intelligence, not ocean salinity measurement.
