Correct answer: C
The 'Eco Mark' (Ecomark) is an eco-labelling certification introduced by the Government of India in 1991 and administered by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. The mark is awarded to consumer products that meet specified environmental criteria — products that cause substantially less harm to the environment across their production, use and disposal (for example, by being recyclable, biodegradable or low in pollution). Its emblem is an earthen pot. Hence the Eco Mark signifies that the product is environment-friendly.
