In which year was the crest adopted?

• A. 1999
• B. 2010
• C. 2015
• D. 2020

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is understanding what “adopted” means for a crest. Adoption is the official act of designating a symbol as the organization’s formal emblem, codified in branding guidelines and used in all official materials. It’s not just about when a design first appeared or was created, but when it received formal approval and became the recognized emblem.

For this crest, the official records indicate the year of formal adoption as 2015. That means from 2015 onward, the crest was the approved symbol used in seals, uniforms, documents, and branding. The other years don’t align with the formal adoption event, even if the design might have existed in some form earlier or been updated later. So 2015 is the best answer because it matches the documented moment when the crest became the official emblem.
