The correct option is C. A ‘Registrar’ is not typically an authority appointed or constituted under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.

The Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, provides for various authorities for the prevention and settlement of industrial disputes. These include Conciliation Officers (Section 4), Boards of Conciliation (Section 5), Courts of Inquiry (Section 6), Labour Courts (Section 7), Industrial Tribunals (Section 7A), National Industrial Tribunals (Section 7B), and Works Committees (Section 3). A Registrar, such as a Registrar of Trade Unions (under the Trade Unions Act, 1926) or a Registrar of Companies, has functions related to registration and regulation of bodies, but is not an authority constituted under the ID Act for the purpose of resolving industrial disputes.

Works Committees are constituted in industrial establishments employing 100 or more workmen and consist of representatives of employers and workmen, aiming at promoting good relations and resolving issues at the shop floor level. Conciliation Officers and Boards of Conciliation are involved in mediating and assisting parties in reaching a settlement. Labour Courts and Tribunals adjudicate disputes when conciliation fails.
