Correct Answer:
D. None of these
The correct answer is None of these because, according to the official statutory text of the FIA Act, the superintendence of the Agency vests explicitly in the Federal Government.
- None of these: This is the correct choice. Section 4(1) of the FIA Act, 1974, explicitly states that the 'superintendence of the Agency shall vest in the Federal Government'. While the Ministry of Interior handles day-to-day administrative oversight on behalf of the state, the legislative wording specifies the 'Federal Government' as a whole, making 'None of these' the legally accurate choice here.
- Incorrect Options:
- Ministry of Interior / Prime Minister / Federal Cabinet: These options are incorrect because they represent specific components or administrative ministries of the state rather than the precise statutory phrase 'Federal Government' written into the Act.
