Question

CII is a

• A. public limited company
• B. private limited company
• C. industrial apex body
• D. none of these

Hint:

CII stands for Confederation of Indian Industry, an umbrella association, not a company of its own.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

CII stands for the Confederation of Indian Industry. It is a non-government, industry led organisation that represents Indian businesses of all sizes and sectors, and works with the government and other bodies to support industrial growth and policy making. Let's check the options.

1. public limited company: CII is not a company that sells shares to the public. It is an industry association, not a trading business.
2. private limited company: Same issue: CII does not operate as a private company either. It is a membership based industry body.
3. industrial apex body: This matches CII correctly. It sits at the top as a leading, umbrella organisation representing Indian industry as a whole.
4. none of these: Not needed, since option (3) is correct.

Since CII represents and speaks for Indian industry at the highest level, the correct option is "industrial apex body".

Let's summarize:

• CII (Confederation of Indian Industry) is an industry association, not a company.
• It acts as the apex, or top level, body representing Indian industry's interests.

The answer is option (3).
