Solution
The correct option is C They represent individual consumers in the consumer courts. The consumer movement in India has led to the formation of various organisations which are locally called consumer forums or consumer protection councils. They guide consumers on how to file a case in the consumer court. They also represent an individual consumer in the consumer courts. These organisations also help spread awareness among people and receive financial aid from the government for doing so.
