Answer: A
The Environment (Protection) Act was passed in 1986, in the aftermath of the Bhopal disaster, as umbrella legislation giving the central government wide powers to set standards and issue directions. The other dates belong to separate statutes: the Air Act is 1981 and the Water Act 1974, both of which predate it and are narrower in scope. Most current emission and ambient standards, including the National Ambient Air Quality Standards, are notified as rules under the 1986 Act rather than under those earlier laws.
