Solution

The correct option is D National Human Rights Commission
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) of India was established on 12 October, 1993. It was formed under the statute of the Protection of Human Rights Act (PHRA), 1993. The NHRC is an embodiment of India’s concern for the promotion and protection of human rights. Over the years, it has disposed of lakhs of cases and initiated countless inquiries into human rights violations into custodial deaths and encounter killings. Unfortunately, due to inadequate funding and staff shortages, there has been a huge pendency of cases for NHRC.
