Correct answer: (B) Academic Performance Indicator

Explanation

API stands for Academic Performance Indicator, used to score teachers' work.

Academic Parameter Indicator is not the recognised expansion.

Academic Paid Instalment is unrelated to faculty assessment.

A blanket denial is unnecessary because a correct expansion exists.

The indicator scored teaching, research and administrative contributions.

It was used in UGC promotion and recruitment norms before later revisions.
