Correct Answer:
C. 1986
Explanation:
The correct answer is 1986.
Enacted by the Indian Parliament in response to the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy, the Environment Protection Act came into force on November 19, 1986. This landmark legislation serves as an umbrella framework, consolidating various environmental regulations and empowering the central government to establish standards for emission levels, manage hazardous substances, and coordinate environmental preservation efforts across the country. By implementing decisions from the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, the Act provides a comprehensive legal basis for protecting and improving ecological quality while safeguarding public health from industrial and environmental hazards.
