Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Justification:
$\bullet$ Statement $1$: There are only four lions resting on the circular abacus in the original figure.
$\bullet$ Statements $2$: The frieze of the abacus is decorated with sculptures in high relief of an elephant, a horse, a bull and a lion separated by Dharma Chakras. The abacus is rested on a bell-shaped lotus.
Learning:
$\bullet$ The profile of the Lion Capital shows three ions mounted on the abacus with a Dharma Chakra in the centre, a bull on the right and a horse on the left, and outlines of Dharma Chakras on the extreme right and left. This was adopted as the State Emblem of India on January $26$, $1950$.
