The Ashoka Chakra is not directly given by the Government of India. While it is a national military decoration, it is awarded for acts of valor, courage, and sacrifice in the face of the enemy. The Ashoka Chakra is part of the Indian military honors system and is awarded by the President of India, who is the supreme commander of the Indian Armed Forces. Therefore, the correct option is (b) Ashoka Chakra.
The other awards mentioned – Bharat Ratna, Padma Vibhushan, and Kalinga Award – are indeed conferred by the Government of India. Bharat Ratna is the highest civilian award, Padma Vibhushan is the second-highest civilian award, and Kalinga Award is given for popularizing science.
