The correct answer to the question is option 3 - Russia. INS Trishul is a guided missile frigate which has been built by Russia. It is one of the three `Talwar` class frigates that the Indian Navy has commissioned.

Option 1, Israel, is incorrect as the INS Trishul was not built by this nation. Israel does produce war vessels and equipment but in the case of INS Trishul, this is not applicable.

Option 2, United States, while known for its robust defence manufacturing sector, was not engaged in building the INS Trishul. Hence, this is also an incorrect option.

Option 4, France, is known for building some warships for various countries, including India. However, they did not build the INS Trishul which makes this option a false one too.
