Final answer:

The correct names for the aircraft are the Lockheed C-130 Hercules, Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker, and Boeing EC-135 and RC-135, which are variants of the C-135 Stratolifter. The correct answer to the question is option 1 (C-130, KC-135, EC/RC-135).

Step-by-step explanation:

The names of the aircraft you're asking about are as follows:

  • C-130: This is the Lockheed C-130 Hercules, a four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft.
  • KC-135: Known as the Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker, this aircraft serves mainly as an aerial refueling tanker.
  • EC-135 and RC-135: These are both based on the Boeing C-135 Stratolifter. The EC-135 is used for command and control, while the RC-135 is a reconnaissance aircraft.

Option 2 (C-130, KC-135, EC-135) would not be completely correct as it omits the RC-135 variant. Hence, the correct option that lists all the respective aircraft names is option 1 (C-130, KC-135, EC/RC-135).
