The correct answer is B) Section 4. Section 4 of the RTI Act, 2005 deals with the obligations of public authorities, specifically mandating the proactive or *suo motu* disclosure of certain information.

Section 4(1)(b) requires every public authority to publish specified information within one hundred and twenty days from the enactment of the Act. This proactive disclosure is intended to make the functioning of public authorities transparent and reduce the need for individuals to file RTI applications for this information.
