Solution

The correct option is A To provide justice unbiased
Goddess of justice is kept blindfolded at courts to represent or symbolise unbiased justice. She wields a balance in one hand and a sword in the other. The balance signifies that she weighs pieces of evidence and facts of the case to arrive at the judgement. The sword symbolises that justice shall be fast and final.
