The correct answer is D. All of the above.

Lok Adalats in Bihar are run by Bihar State Legal Services Authority (BSLSA). BSLSA is formed under Legal Services Act, 1987. In Bihar, Mobile Lok Adalats also run simultaneously.

The Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 is an Act of the Parliament of India enacted to provide free and accessible legal services to ensure that justice is not denied to any citizen by reason of economic or other disability. The Act provides for the establishment of State Legal Services Authorities, District Legal Services Authorities and Taluk Legal Services Committees at the State, District and Taluk levels respectively. The Act also provides for the appointment of Legal Aid Counsels and Para-Legal Volunteers to provide legal services to the needy.

The BSLSA is the State Legal Services Authority for the State of Bihar. The BSLSA is responsible for the implementation of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 in the State of Bihar. The BSLSA has its headquarters at Patna and has branches in all the districts of the State.

The BSLSA provides free legal services to the needy through a network of Legal Aid Counsels and Para-Legal Volunteers. The BSLSA also organizes Lok Adalats to settle disputes amicably between the parties.

Mobile Lok Adalats are a type of Lok Adalat that is held at a place other than the regular Lok Adalat venue. Mobile Lok Adalats are usually held in remote areas or in areas where there is a large number of people who are unable to access the regular Lok Adalats. Mobile Lok Adalats are held in buses or vans that are equipped with all the necessary facilities for conducting a Lok Adalat.

Mobile Lok Adalats are a very effective way of providing legal services to the needy. They are also a very cost-effective way of resolving disputes.
