The correct answer is (d). The Unorganized Workers Social Security Act was passed in 2011.

The Unorganized Workers Social Security Act is a law that provides social security benefits to unorganized workers in India. It was passed by the Parliament of India on 29 August 2011 and came into effect on 16 September 2011. The Act provides for a number of benefits, including old age pension, death and disability benefits, maternity benefits, and medical benefits.

The Act covers all unorganized workers, including those who are employed in the unorganized sector, such as agricultural workers, construction workers, domestic workers, and street vendors. To be eligible for benefits under the Act, a worker must have contributed to the social security fund for a minimum period of 10 years.

The Act is administered by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO). The EPFO is a statutory body that was set up in 1952 to provide social security benefits to employees in the organized sector. The EPFO has been entrusted with the task of implementing the Unorganized Workers Social Security Act.

The Act has been hailed as a landmark legislation that will provide much-needed social security to millions of unorganized workers in India. It is expected to have a significant impact on the lives of these workers and their families.
