Solution

The correct option is C To protect the rights of the citizen of the country
The Government of India formed the National Human Rights Commission or NHRC in 1993. It focuses on helping victims secure their human rights mentioned in the Constitution and international treaties. Though it is an institution to protect human rights, it does not have the power to supervise the police or represent India in the UN General Assembly.
