Question

NHRC stands for

• A. National Human Rights Committee
• B. National Human Rights Commission
• C. National Human Rights and Liabilities Commission
• D. National Human Rights and Duties Commission

Hint:

Most national-level statutory monitoring bodies in India use the term "Commission" rather than "Committee" or "Board" (e.g., NCW: National Commission for Women, NCSC: National Commission for Scheduled Castes). This is a helpful pattern for guessing terms!

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Decode the abbreviation.
NHRC is a statutory body set up under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993. Decode: N = National, H = Human, R = Rights, C = Commission.
Step 2: Eliminate wrong options.
Option (1) says "Committee," option (3) adds "and Liabilities," and option (4) adds "and Duties" - none are correct.
Step 3: Confirm the answer.
The correct full form is National Human Rights Commission, which investigates human rights violations in India.
