Correct option is A

The correct answer is: (A) D Uday Kumar

The new Indian rupee symbol (₹) was designed by D Uday Kumar, an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay graduate, in 2010. The symbol was selected after a national competition and officially adopted by the Government of India in 2010 as the symbol for the Indian currency, reflecting the country's unique identity in the global economic landscape.

  • The design of the symbol combines elements of the Devanagari "र" (Ra) and the Latin "R" for "rupee," with a horizontal line on top, symbolizing the country's tricolor and the Indian flag.
