The correct answer is C) 1983, 1989, 1999 and 2009. These are significant years when the Central Industrial Security Force Act, 1968, underwent amendments that broadened its scope and powers, particularly allowing deployment in joint venture and private sector undertakings (1999) and further refining its role and structure (1983, 1989, 2009).

– The CISF Act, 1968, established the force.
– Key amendments were made in 1983 (e.g., relating to members’ liability), 1989 (e.g., concerning dependents’ benefits), 1999 (allowing deployment in private/joint venture sectors on cost reimbursement basis), and 2009 (further expanding scope and powers).
– Another significant amendment occurred in 2001, making CISF mandatory for airport security.

The amendments reflect the evolving security landscape in India and the expanding role of CISF from primarily protecting Public Sector Undertakings to becoming a multi-faceted security agency involved in airport security, VIP security, consultancy, and security for private sector establishments critical to the economy. While the 2001 amendment was also very important, Option C lists a set of years that are all correct amendment years, whereas Option D contains a likely incorrect year (2011).
