  2. BAt such place in the National Capital Region of Delhi as the Central Government decidesCorrect
  3. CAt any State capital chosen by the Chief Commissioner
  4. DAt Mumbai, with regional offices elsewhere

Explanation

Section 10(3) provides that the headquarters shall be at such place in the National Capital Region of Delhi, with regional and other offices elsewhere in India as the Central Government may decide. The Act does not name a specific city, so New Delhi only is wrong.
