Correct answer: C

The State Information Commission (SIC) is constituted under Section 15 of the Right to Information Act, 2005. Section 15(1) empowers every State Government to constitute, by notification in the Official Gazette, a body to be known as the State Information Commission to exercise the powers and perform the functions assigned to it under the Act. Accordingly, the State Information Commission in Madhya Pradesh has been constituted under Section 15. (Section 12 deals with the Central Information Commission, while Sections 18 and 19 deal with the powers, functions and appeal procedure of the Commissions.) Hence the correct answer is 15.
