Correct Answer:
B. 2005
Explanation:
The Right to Information (RTI) Act is a landmark piece of legislation enacted by the Parliament of India to promote transparency and accountability in government operations. While a similar Freedom of Information Act was passed in 2002, it was never fully implemented and was ultimately replaced. The RTI Act was passed on June 15, 2005, and officially came into force on October 12, 2005. It empowers citizens to request information from public authorities, who are generally required to respond within 30 days. This law is designed to strengthen democracy by ensuring that the public has the right to inspect government records and hold officials accountable for their actions.
