Correct Answer:
B. An affidavit and evidence
For a general public member to file a formal complaint of public nuisance, specific procedural requirements must be met to ensure the complaint's validity and seriousness. The complaint must be accompanied by an affidavit and evidence (Option B). An affidavit is a sworn statement of facts, which attests to the truthfulness of the complaint, while supporting evidence substantiates the claim and helps prevent frivolous filings.
- Option A, 'A legal fee,' is not universally required for all citizen complaints of nuisance.
- Option C, 'A no-objection certificate from the police,' is not a standard requirement for filing a citizen's complaint.
- Option D, 'Approval from the SDEO,' is a specific bureaucratic approval not generally required for an initial citizen complaint.
