The correct answer is B) Section 10.

Section 10 of the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005, deals with the concept of ‘severability’. It states that if a request for information contains information that is exempt from disclosure, access may be provided to that part of the record which does not contain such exempt information after the severance of the part containing the exempt information.

This section allows for partial disclosure of information when only a portion of the record is exempt, ensuring that non-exempt information is still made available. Section 9 deals with grounds for rejection of a request. Section 11 deals with third-party information. Section 12 deals with the constitution of the Central Information Commission.
