Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

The ECO Mark (often referred to as ECOMARC in various competitive examinations) is a certification mark issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to products that are environment-friendly. Launched in 1991 by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, the scheme aims to encourage consumers to purchase products that have a reduced environmental impact. The symbol for the ECO Mark is an earthen pot (Matka), which represents a product made from natural, biodegradable materials. For a product to be eligible, it must meet specific environmental criteria along with the quality requirements of Indian Standards. Thus, it is primarily associated with safe goods for the environment.
