Correct Answer:
A. Hearing Officer & Authorized Officer
The foundational concept here is the specific roles an Authority is empowered to appoint under a particular section of an Act. Section 10 typically details the types of officers an Authority can appoint to fulfill its operational and regulatory functions. Option A, "Hearing Officer & Authorized Officer," is accurate as these roles are crucial for an enforcement and regulation authority, handling proceedings and carrying out investigative or enforcement duties.
- Option B, "Only Enforcement Officer," is incomplete; the Act likely allows for other necessary roles.
- Option C, "Only DG," is incorrect; the DG is usually a principal officer, but Section 10 would cover a range of subordinate officers.
- Option D, "Only Magistrate," is false; Magistrates are judicial officers appointed by the government's judicial branch, not typically by an administrative authority for internal roles.
