The correct answer is: A. 1985

The Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) was an Act of the Parliament of India enacted in 1985 to deal with terrorism and disruptive activities. It was passed in response to the growing threat of terrorism in India, particularly from Sikh militants in Punjab.

The TADA Act gave the government wide powers to arrest and detain suspects without charge, and to seize property. It also allowed for the use of special courts to try cases under the Act.

The TADA Act was controversial from the start, with critics arguing that it gave the government too much power and that it was being used to target political opponents. The Act was eventually repealed in 1995, but it remains a controversial topic in India.

Here is a brief explanation of each option:

  • A. 1985: The TADA Act was passed in 1985.
  • B. 1989: The TADA Act was not passed in 1989.
  • C. 1995: The TADA Act was repealed in 1995.
  • D. 1998: The TADA Act was not passed in 1998.
