Correct Answer:
B. Hindi
Explanation:
According to Article 343 of the Indian Constitution, Hindi written in the Devanagari script is designated as the official language of the Union. While English was initially permitted for use in official capacities for a period of 15 years following the Constitution's commencement, Hindi remains the primary official language. The Official Languages Act of 1963 further allowed for the continued use of English alongside Hindi for official government business, but the Constitution specifically identifies Hindi as the official language. Therefore, Hindi is the correct answer.
