A Correct answer
Explanation

The state emblem of India features the Lion Capital from Ashoka's pillar at Sarnath. Below the abacus is the inscription 'Satyameva Jayate' in Devanagari script, meaning 'Truth alone triumphs'. This phrase is from the Mundaka Upanishad and was adopted as the national motto of India in 1949. 'Our India' and 'Respect India' are not the correct inscriptions.
