Correct Answer:
B. Act VII of 2024
This question assesses knowledge of how legislative acts are formally cited and numbered within a legal system.
Option B: Act VII of 2024 is the correct answer. Legislative acts are typically assigned a sequential Roman numeral for the year they are enacted. This citation indicates that the Punjab Price Control of Essential Commodities Act, 2024, was the seventh Act passed by the relevant legislative body in the year 2024. This is a specific factual detail derived from the official title or commencement section of the Act itself.
- Options A, C, D: Act V of 2024, Act IV of 2024, and Act IX of 2024 are incorrect because they represent different sequential numbers for Acts passed in the same year. The correct citation is a matter of specific legislative record.
