A) The rank of Second Lieutenant has been abolished. B) The Chief of Army Staff carries the rank of Field Marshal.
C) All officers posted to Andaman and Nicobar Islands wear the ranks of the Indian Navy. D) The rank of Major General is higher than the rank of Lieutenant General.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) The rank of Second Lieutenant has been abolished.
