Correct:
C
Explanation
The graphic wheel used in the redesigned livery for Indian (formerly Indian Airlines) is explicitly derived from the Konark Sun Temple’s chariot wheel motif. A design account notes that after the carrier’s rebranding to “Indian,” the aircraft livery featured a partial blue wheel on an orange field inspired by the Sun Temple at Konark in Odisha. The Konark wheel has long been used as a national icon and airline motif (also seen in earlier Air India branding described as an orange Sun Temple wheel), reinforcing the direct visual link between the airline’s logo and Konark’s wheel symbolism. The Konark wheels are widely recognised as emblematic of India’s cultural heritage and chariot imagery [1].
