The correct options are
A Four lions are standing on a platform, facing four directions, with backs facing each other.
C The wheel at the base is known as the 'Wheel of Dharma'.
D The slogan 'Satyameva Jayathe' means ‘truth alone triumphs’
Our National emblem is taken from the base portion of the Ashoka pillar at Sarnath. The base is called the lion base. As you can see in the original sculpture, four lions are standing on a platform, facing four directions, with backs facing each other. It has a bull on the right and a galloping horse on the left.

The wheel at the base is known as the 'Wheel of Dharma'. Even on the white strip of our National flag, the symbol of the wheel is found. The sanskrit line found at the bottom of the base is 'Satyameva Jayathe' meaning ‘truth alone triumphs’
