6 years, 66 years
5 years, 70 years
5 years, 65 years
5 years, 60 years

The correct answer is C. 5 years, 65 years.

The Chief Information Commissioner (CIC) is appointed for a term of five years from the date on which he enters upon his office or till he attains the age of sixty-five years, whichever is earlier. This is as per Section 12(3) of the Right to Information Act, 2005.

The other options are incorrect because they either give the wrong term of office or the wrong age of retirement. Option A gives a term of six years and an age of retirement of sixty-six years. Option B gives a term of five years and an age of retirement of seventy years. Option D gives a term of five years and an age of retirement of sixty years.
