Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The right of audience refers to the right to appear and be heard in any court. In India, this privilege is extended to the Attorney General of India.

Here's why:

1. The Attorney General of India is the chief legal advisor to the Government of India and is its primary lawyer in the Supreme Court.
2. Under Article 76 of the Constitution of India, the Attorney General is given the right to speak and take part in the proceedings of both Houses of Parliament or their joint sitting and any committee of Parliament of which they may be named a member, without the right to vote.
3. This officially appointed position allows the Attorney General to address the courts and provide legal advice on matters of national importance, ensuring their active participation in the judicial process across all courts in India.

Therefore, the correct answer is The Attorney General of India.
