Answer 1

The correct answer is National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA).

Key Points

National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) is the apex body in India that is responsible for promoting, coordinating, and monitoring the doping control program in sports.
NADA also works closely with international organizations such as the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to ensure that India's doping control program is in line with international standards.
It was set up in November 2005 under the Societies Registration Act, of 1860, and operates under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports.
NADA's main objective is to ensure that sports in India are free from doping, and it achieves this through various activities such as testing, education, research, and advocacy.

Additional Information

National Adverse Doping Agency (NADA), is an incorrect option as there is no such agency in India. It might be a typographical error.
National Dope Testing Laboratory (NDTL), is a government laboratory that is responsible for conducting dope testing of athletes. However, it does not manage and administer the doping control program in India.
National Doping Control Agency (NDCA), is also an incorrect option as there is no such agency in India.
