Answer: (C) Tiger
The flag of the Azad Hind Fauj (INA) under Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was the tricolour with a springing (leaping) tiger at the centre - a symbol first used by the Indian Legion that Bose raised in Germany, and recalling Tipu Sultan, the 'Tiger of Mysore'. The lion belongs to the State Emblem of India (Lion Capital of Sarnath), the elephant appears on the Ashokan abacus, and the one-horned rhino is Assam's state animal. INA motto: 'Ittehad, Itmad aur Qurbani' (Unity, Faith, Sacrifice); slogans: 'Jai Hind' and 'Dilli Chalo'.
