The symbol 'ECOMARC' is related to which of the following?

1. A

   Goods of best quality

   Option (a) claims that the 'ECOMARC' symbol signifies goods of the best quality. However, quality standards are typically denoted by other marks like ISI or Agmark rather than environmental friendliness.

2. B

   Safe goods for environment

   Option (b) claims that the 'ECOMARC' symbol is related to safe goods for the environment. This is the official key because the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) issues this label for consumer products that follow specific environmental criteria and cause least adverse environmental impact.

3. C

   Exported goods

   Option (c) claims that the symbol relates to exported goods, which is incorrect because export certification involves distinct quality and customs clearance procedures.

4. D

   Imported goods

   Option (d) claims that the symbol is meant for imported goods, which is also incorrect as ECOMARC is a domestic certification scheme launched by the Government of India for eco-friendly products.

Summary. Official key is (b) Safe goods for environment. The ECOMARC scheme was instituted by the Ministry of Environment and Forests in 1991 to help consumers easily identify environment-friendly products. It aims to encourage manufacturers to reduce adverse environmental impacts and promotes sustainable resource usage. Marks like ISI represent general product quality, whereas ECOMARC specifically targets ecological safety. Therefore, option (b) is the correct choice among all alternatives.
