The correct answer is A. Seek information from public authorities.
The Right to Information Act (RTI) is an Indian law that gives citizens the right to access information from the government. The law was passed in 2005 and has been hailed as a major step forward in transparency and accountability in the Indian government.
The RTI Act allows citizens to request information from any public authority, including the central government, state governments, local governments, and public sector undertakings. The information can be about anything that is in the possession of the public authority, including records, documents, and reports.
The RTI Act has been used to expose corruption, inefficiency, and wrongdoing in the Indian government. It has also been used to improve the delivery of public services. The RTI Act has been a powerful tool for citizens to hold the government accountable.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option B is incorrect because the RTI Act does not empower citizens to file complaints against corruption. This is the job of the anti-corruption agencies.
- Option C is incorrect because the RTI Act does not empower citizens to vote in elections. This is the job of the Election Commission of India.
- Option D is incorrect because the RTI Act does not empower citizens to protest peacefully. This is the right of all citizens, regardless of whether they have filed an RTI application or not.
