Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is: a) Identify illegal immigrants.
The National Register of Citizens (NRC) is a register of Indian citizens. It was first prepared in 1951, and a new one was being prepared in Assam from 2013 to 2019. The NRC in Assam aimed to identify illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.
Option b) is incorrect because the NRC is not a list of people who are eligible for welfare benefits.
Option c) is incorrect because the NRC is not a list of all the people living in Assam. It is a list of Indian citizens.
Option d) is incorrect because the NRC is not a list of people who have land disputes.
