Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Purpose of the legislation.
The Act was enacted to establish a statutory Commission for addressing air pollution issues specifically in the National Capital Region (NCR) and its adjoining areas.
Step 2: Exact statutory title.
The official name of the legislation clearly includes both the constitution of the Commission and its jurisdiction over the NCR and adjoining areas.
Step 3: Elimination of incorrect options.
Options (A), (B), and (C) either omit the reference to the Commission or do not fully mention “adjoining areas,” making them inaccurate.
Step 4: Conclusion.
Hence, the correct answer is (D) The Commission for Air Quality Management in National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas Act, 2021.
