Correct Answer:
B. Carrying out purposes of the Act
The foundational concept is that an authority established by an Act typically forms committees to assist in achieving its broader objectives. Option B, "Carrying out purposes of the Act," is accurate because committees are generally constituted to facilitate the implementation and execution of all functions and duties outlined in the parent Act, which can be diverse.
- Option A, "Only judicial cases," is false as committees often handle administrative, advisory, or operational tasks beyond just judicial matters.
- Option C, "Financial audits only," is incorrect because while financial oversight might be one task, it's not the sole reason for committee formation.
- Option D, "Price control only," is also false as it represents a specific function that might fall under the Act's purposes but doesn't encompass the full scope of committee formation.
The power to constitute committees ensures efficient and effective execution of all assigned responsibilities.
