Solution

The correct option is B Right to Information Act 2005

The Right to Information Act passed in 2005 provided a ray of hope for common people as it promised transparency and accountability in governance and captured the imagination of masses soon. The law has a potential to be a crucial catalyst in challenging the power equation between the common masses and the ruling classes besides curtailing corruption. The object to create this Act was to serve a larger public interest to question the age-old hierarchical traditional system of governance and to strengthen foundation for a true participatory democracy.
