Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The National Flag.
Pingali Venkayya was a freedom fighter and polymath who designed the initial model of the Indian National Flag. In 1921, he presented a design to Mahatma Gandhi at Vijayawada, consisting of saffron and green bands. It was later modified to include a white stripe and the Charkha (spinning wheel), which eventually evolved into the modern Tricolor with the Ashoka Chakra. His contribution remains a cornerstone of India’s national identity and sovereign pride.
