The correct answer is A) The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).

The Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund (PMNRF) is managed by officials of the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).

The PMNRF was established in 1948 by the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, with public contributions, and does not get any budgetary support from the government. It is used to provide immediate relief to families of those affected by natural calamities and to partially defray the expenses for medical treatment like heart surgeries, kidney transplantation, cancer treatment, etc.
