Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

The National Commission for Minorities Act was passed by Parliament in 1992 (Act No. 19 of 1992, dated 17 May 1992). This Act converted the earlier non-statutory Minorities Commission — set up by a Government of India resolution in 1978 — into a statutory body. The first statutory National Commission for Minorities was constituted under this Act in 1993. Hence the correct year of the Act is 1992.
