B Correct answer
Explanation

NCERT's chief aim is to improve the quality of school education nationally through research and training (Option B). This is explicitly stated in NCERT's mission and reflects its core functions - conducting educational research, developing curriculum, and training teachers. While NCERT is involved in teacher training (Option D), that's a means to the end rather than the chief aim itself. Options A and C refer to specific functions (national awards) that are not NCERT's primary purpose.
