\nThe correct answer is C.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993, as amended by the Protection of Human Rights (Amendment) Act, 2019, changed the term of office for the Chairman and Members of a State Human Rights Commission. The term is now three years or until they attain the age of seventy years, whichever is earlier. They are also eligible for reappointment.
\n<\/section>\n
\nPrior to the 2019 amendment, the term of office for the Chairman and Members of an SHRC was five years or until the age of seventy. The 2019 amendment reduced the term to three years but allowed for reappointment, aligning the term with that of the Chairman and Members of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). Options A, B, and D reflect terms or reappointment conditions that are incorrect under the amended Act.
