Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, the Central Consumer Protection Council (Central Council) is described as which kind of body, and who chairs it?

The Central Consumer Protection Council is an advisory council, and its Chairperson is the Minister-in-charge of the Department of Consumer Affairs in the Central Government. It does not adjudicate or regulate; the Chief Commissioner heads the separate Central Authority.

  1. AA quasi-judicial body chaired by a retired Supreme Court judge
  2. BAn advisory council chaired by the Minister-in-charge of the Department of Consumer Affairs in the Central GovernmentCorrect
  3. CA regulatory authority chaired by the Chief Commissioner
  4. DAn executive body chaired by the Collector

Explanation

Section 3 states that the Central Council is an advisory council with the Minister-in-charge of the Department of Consumer Affairs in the Central Government as Chairperson. The Chief Commissioner heads the Central Authority, a different body, so that option is wrong. The Collector chairs only the District Council.
