Regarding the National Social Security Board constituted under the Code on Social Security, 2020, which combination of facts is correct?

The National Social Security Board is chaired by the Union Minister for Labour and Employment, has a three-year term, and must meet at least thrice a year. The quarterly meeting rule applies to the State Unorganised Workers' Board instead.

  1. AChaired by the Secretary of Labour; term of five years; meets at least once a year
  2. BChaired by the Union Minister for Labour and Employment; term of three years; meets at least thrice a yearCorrect
  3. CChaired by the Union Minister for Labour and Employment; term of three years; meets at least once in a quarter
  4. DChaired by the Director General Labour Welfare; term of two years; meets at least twice a year

Explanation

Section 6 makes the Union Minister for Labour and Employment Chairperson, fixes the Board's term at three years, and requires it to meet at least thrice a year. The 'once in a quarter' requirement belongs to the State Unorganised Workers' Board, which is the trap in the third option.
