The correct answer is option 1, Jawaharlal Nehru. Jawaharlal Nehru, who later became the first Prime Minister of India, proposed the resolution for the design of the National Flag of India in the Constituent Assembly. The resolution stated that the flag should be a horizontal tricolor of saffron, white, and dark green in equal proportion, with a wheel in navy blue at the center. This design was adapted from the Swaraj Flag, which was used by the Indian National Congress during the freedom struggle. The saffron color represents courage, white represents purity, and green represents fertility and growth. The navy blue wheel at the center is known as the Ashoka Chakra and has 24 spokes, representing the principles of dharma. Jawaharlal Nehru`s proposal for the design of the National Flag was unanimously accepted by the Constituent Assembly on July 22, 1947.
