Answer 1

The correct option is A 1 and 2 only

Explanation:

• The appointment of NHRC is done by the President of India under his warrant and seal after obtaining the recommendations of the committee consisting of 6 members - the Prime Minister (Chairperson of the committee) , the Speaker of Lok Sabha, the Minister for Home Affairs, the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, the Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, the deputy chairperson of Rajya Sabha
• Hence the chairperson of Rajya Sabha and the Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha are not members of the committee.
