Solution
The correct option is C Quasi-judicial
The NHRC is a quasi-judicial body. This means it is partly judicial in character, as in it has powers that resemble those of a court of law. It is not, however, a court as recognised by the judiciary.
Similarly, the Election Commission is a body which has quasi-judicial powers when it comes to dispute resolution and keeping a check on electoral malpractices.
