Answer 1

Hint: There is a great role to maintain law and order at the district level by an officer of State Police Service (SPS) or Indian Police Service (IPS).

Complete answer:
At the district level law and order is looked after by the Superintendent of Police.
Superintendent of Police are assigned with the authority and responsibility of maintaining law and order related affairs of a metropolitan district or a union territory of India. They are aided by their juniors and other officers in the district.
The Superintendent of Police’s rank badge is the state emblem above a single star or with no star, according to pay grade level and is worn by Gorget patches which have a dark blue background and a white line stitched on it. They wear it on their collar.
They also serve as aiding officers to the additional or special director general of police in several bureaus. The rank of Superintendent of Police is the same as the rank of second in command and deputy commandant in the Central Armed Police Forces. The rank of SP is also equivalent to the rank of senior Captain in the Indian Army.

Hence the correct answer is option C.

Note: The rank below from the Superintendent of Police is the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) in the State Police services or Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) in the Indian Police Service and the rank above is the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP). They lead all the police forces of a district.
