Detailed Solution

The correct answer is (a) PCRA

PCRA stands for Petroleum Conservation Research Association. It is a Government of India body that creates awareness and gives practical tips to save petrol, diesel, LPG and other fuels. PCRA advises people to:

Maintain correct tyre pressure and service vehicles regularly.
Drive at a steady speed (about 45–55 km/h) and avoid sudden acceleration/braking.
Switch off the engine at long traffic signals and avoid idling.
Use public transport/carpooling and plan routes to reduce travel.
Use energy-efficient appliances and pressure cookers, and prevent gas leaks at home.

These small actions reduce fuel consumption, pollution, and import bills, and help conserve non-renewable resources.

Why others are incorrect?

ISRO: Indian Space Research Organisation—works on space research and satellites, not fuel-saving tips.
UNESCO: A UN agency for education, science, and culture—does not issue India-specific petroleum tips.
BARC: Bhabha Atomic Research Centre—focuses on nuclear research, not petroleum conservation.
