Answer 1

The correct option is A

Vegetarian food

Packaged food products sold in India are required to be labelled with a mandatory mark in order for it to be distinguished between vegetarian food and non-vegetarian food. According to the law, vegetarian food should be identified by a green symbol as shown. For non-vegetarian food, the same symbol in red colour must be used.
