Answer 1

Answer:

D. National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad

• The NOTA (None of the Above) symbol in India was designed by the National Institute of Design (NID) in Ahmedabad.

• The symbol was introduced in 2013 following a Supreme Court directive that gave voters the right to reject all candidates in elections.

• The NOTA symbol features a ballot paper with a black cross on it, signifying rejection of all candidates.

• The National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad is known for its contributions to design in India and has created several important symbols and designs for national use.

• The other institutions mentioned in the options - the National School of Design, Bengaluru (which is not a well-known institution), the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (which focuses more on engineering and technology), and the Election Commission of India (which implements election symbols but does not design them) - were not responsible for creating the NOTA symbol.
