The correct answer is option 3, which is 24. The Dharma Chakra, also known as the Wheel of Law, depicted on the National flag of India has 24 spokes. The Dharma Chakra is a symbol of the Buddha`s teachings and represents the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Each spoke represents one of the 24 virtues that are necessary for a righteous life according to Buddhism. These virtues include love, kindness, perseverance, honesty, and others. The number 24 is significant in Buddhism as it represents the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination and the Twelve Noble Truths. Therefore, the Dharma Chakra on the National flag of India has 24 spokes.
