Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

The “Eco Mark” (Eco‑label) is a government scheme instituted to recognise and label environment‑friendly consumer and household products that meet specified environmental criteria alongside relevant quality standards. It provides accreditation and labelling for products that have lower environmental impact during manufacture, use or disposal, thereby signalling environmental performance to consumers [1]. The scheme is implemented through the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and related institutional arrangements, which assess, certify and permit use of the Eco Mark for qualifying products under the national scheme on labelling of environment‑friendly products [2]. Therefore the correct option is: environment friendly (option 3).
