Correct Answer:
B. 5

- 5: This is the correct choice. Under Section 5(1) of the Act, members of the agency are granted powers matching those of the provincial police forces across Pakistan regarding searches, tracking witnesses, securing properties, and making arrests during active inquiries.
- Incorrect Options:
- 3: This is incorrect. Section 3 covers the core constitution and structural establishment of the agency rather than detailing the operational field powers of its members.
