CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

No entries are invited for this award.
The selection rests on the recommendations of a committee of eminent film personalities constituted specially for the purpose.
The two-tier process of regional panels and a national panel is how the feature film section is decided, not this award.

Worth noting

It is the one National Film Award nobody can apply for, and that is the cleanest way to tell it apart from the rest of the ceremony it is presented at.
