• A. Permanent mechanism
• B. Anonymity
• C. Political neutrality
• D. Consistency

Answer 1

The correct option is B Anonymity

Civil servant's anonymity means that they should not be held directly responsible for any success or failure of policy of the government. That means people can not hold civil servants directly responsible for any policy. Civil servants are the implementing the policy and schemes of the government, if the civil servants not work properly then political leaders make transfers or remove them according to the provisions of the law. For example if a civil servant is doing corruption then he can be punished under the provisions of Prevention of corruption act.
