Answer 1

The correct option is D ISI mark for the cement business and BIS Hallmark for the gold and silver jewellery business

Products like textiles, chemicals, insecticides, cement, and electronic gadgets are allowed to use the ISI mark certified by the BIS.

The BIS sets standards for precious metals like gold and silver. The BIS Hallmark is a hallmarking system for gold as well as silver jewellery sold in India. It certifies that the piece of jewellery conforms to the set of standards laid down by the Bureau of Indian Standards.
