Drown means that you die because you get too much liquid of some kind in your lungs. Normally, this means you sink in water, try to inhale it, and die that way. Also, if something is not alive or doesn't breathe air, it cannot drown, but it can sink. Fish and ships can both sink, but they can't drown.

The meaning of drown and sink is same and also both words are prepositional words. The drown used for any person any animal but ink is used for goods.
Eg:- Sohan drawn in river.
And the goods ship sank in sea.

In option A, why we won't use "The Indian ship " instead of An Indian ship?

Instead of in, into is more suitable, as the drowning is the verb that expresses movement.
